Thank you for sharing this, Kristen. I really appreciate how you brought the focus back to what Jesus actually meant. It’s so true — in Jewish thought, fire often means cleansing and renewal, not just judgment.
I love how Luke 12:49 also shows Jesus’ deep longing to start that work — to set hearts ablaze for God’s kingdom. Your post helped me see it even more clearly. 🌿

I have never really given thought to that scripture. Thanks for the insight and I love your reflection questions at the end.
Good reflection and questions at the end!
This is some deep digging, and I appreciate it SO much, friend! May we live faithfully in the quiet, steady way Jesus calls us to embrace . . .
