Where is the Fire?

Jesus said, "I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I am under until it is completed! Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division! From now on five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three; they will be divided: father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother in law against her daughter in law and daughter in law against her mother in law." Luke 12:49-53 Where is the fire? Historically around racial injustice? In Jesus' own body as he suffered and died bringing good news to the poor, recovery of sight to the blind and freedom for the oppressed? In you and me as we are touched with the fire of Jesus to address current realities of racial injustice in our own time and our own city? Where is the fire?
