Isn't this exactly why Jesus said He came?


Check this out.

John 7:40-44(NKJV)
Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, “Truly this is the Prophet.” 
Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee? 
Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?” 
So there was a division among the people because of Him. 
Now some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.

Isn't this exactly why Jesus said He came?

Matthew 10:34-39(NKJV)
“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 
For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 
and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’  
He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 
And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 
He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

Looks like He succeeded!
