“It is true that the First Coming brought a partial peace, the peace that enters the hearts of those who believe. But the Lord warned the disciples, “You just remember this as you go out: Youre going to cause division. Youre going to cause a rending and a splitting apart. The gospel does that. It is the refiners fire that consumes. It brings the shepherds separation of the sheep and goats. It brings the husbandmans fan when he throws the grain into the air and the chaff is blown away. The entrance of Christ splits and tears apart. If Christ had never come, the earth would have gone on in unity, doomed to hell. But when He came, a war broke out.” —John MacArthur, [The Biggest Rift, pp.23-24]
