Listen "470 Standing in the Fire: What Jesus Really Came to Do (Lk 12:49–59)"
Episode Synopsis
Friday, March 21st: In today’s episode of The Daily Grind, John dives into one of Jesus’ most striking statements: “I have come to bring fire on the earth.” What did Jesus mean by that? Wasn’t He the Prince of Peace? Drawing from Luke 3:15–18 and Luke 12:49–59, John unpacks the rich biblical and historical context of these passages and explains how fire in the Bible often represents judgment, purification, and God’s powerful presence.We explore how Jesus came not only to bring truth and peace—but also division and transformation. Like fire, His presence disrupts the status quo, revealing what’s real and calling us to respond. We’ll hear about John the Baptist’s mission, Jesus’ burden to face the cross, and the bold invitation for each of us to stand in the space where judgment has already passed.If you’ve ever wondered what it truly means to follow Jesus in a divided world, this episode is for you. Whether you're a committed believer or just listening in from the crowd, today’s message challenges you to respond to Jesus’ call.
