The Sword of the Gospel

The Sword of the Gospel Matthew 10:34
Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn
‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
A man’s enemies will be the members
of his own household.
Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me; and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

Pretty true. But look around that christians are world wide persecuted and killed and tortured and ridiculed for their faith. So it is pretty true that there is the Sword here against the Christians. Even early christians died in the name of Christ. Right? It doesnt mean christians are aggressive or not peaceful. Right? Or that Christians do not love their neighbours.

True but God is the master of all things and he has the power.
