Luke 9:54-56
54 And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?” 55 But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. 56 For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them.” And they went to another village.
When people reject Jesus and the gospel, we must not think they should get God's judgment immediately upon their heads. No, since we all are under His judgement already, we should care enough to let God continue to work in them to save them from that state and know His love in the mercy of the work done on the cross. Jesus came to bring life out of death, not death.
