Jesus comes to us with love.

Unfortunately, you only see part of the picture.

Luke 12:49 I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

v.51 Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division.

God's love is passion that warms and purifies those who love Him, and burns those who hate Him. But it's still love. God is love and God doesn't change.

Jesus spent most of preaching time instructing us on love. He ALSO mentioned violence a handful of times.

We understand His words. But we also understand His instructions.
