The How and Why of Christ

Luke 12:49-59

He came to cast fire upon the earth,
And that may have already been lit;
For ever since the day of His birth,
Trying to get people spiritually fit.

A baptism that Christ had undergone,
Kept holding back until complete;
Then a radiant glow like a neon,
No longer with being so discreet.

He did not come to earth for peace,
Or in wishing all men a good will;
Rather to divide as wars increase,
In order for the prophecy to fulfill.

Father against son, son against dad,
The same for daughter and mother;
With entire households being mad,
In just wanting to fight each other.

We interpret the earth and the sky,
A good understanding how it works;
But today unknowing the reason why,
And sounding like a bunch of jerks.
