20 Sun C / "blaze the fire"

Lk 12.49-51 offers us an insight into the self-understanding of Jesus.
1.) "I'm a fire-bringer". We remember once the homo sapiens maybe 150'000
years ago has discoverd the fire. Later, maybe 40'000 years ago, the holy fire
was defined. And now a new "fire-bringer" - for us: 2000 years ago. Every Easter
night we recall this fire-history: the wood-fire, the fire in the hand of the people,
the Easter-Candle-fire.
I'm coming to present the engagement for the Kingdom of God.
I'm actualizing the participation with the fulness of Life.
2.) I wish the fire blazing...   it's incredible, what a picture... the world a blazing fire! We normally see a cosmos shaped by the logos... now in strict order...but Jesus is in favour of the fire, in favour of a total renewal...
3.) I have to undergo the Baptism of "death and resurrection". Like everybody!
That's the way into the fulness of Life. Life is light and shade, chaos and cosmos,
heaven and earth. Engagement is storm...
4.) I'm in great distress...  why?
Because the fire is burning down the world ? or because of the Baptism?
becaue of the chaos you bring? or because the fire is down to ashes?
It's not the fire-engament and not the natural baptism who brings distress!

Jesus knows he brings division! But his aim is unity You may be one...
He is doing what he don't like...   later: St. Paul has the same experiences!
This famous contradiction in the human existence brings him distress!
He likes to bring peace and causes division (one against the other).
Where is the salvation of such a situation? Your love brings hatred...
Jesus didn' have the time to solve the problem, the cultural evolution didn't
yet offer a solution... we must engage in this direction: not any more
self-understanding but we-understanding.

We have to negotiate the use of the fire until the fire blazes in favour of all.
We have to distribute the gold until everyone get his share.
We have to learn until everyone knows.
We have to believe until everyone recognizes.
