The sword

Jesus said, "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth.  I have not come to bring peace, but a sword." Matthew 10:34 (read the entire Gospel reading here)

God takes us through trial to peace with Him, and the sword of His Word can be painful indeed.  His law pierces our hearts, revealing that we are indeed not worthy of Him.  The mirror of His Word reveals the muddy sinful mess of this world and our own hearts.  What can we do but come to Him for cleansing?

Create in me a clean heart, O God!
