Did Jesus Christ come to send peace?

If one posed the question, Did Christ come to send peace? to the average Christian today, what would they say?  Likely their answer would be an overwhelming, "YES, yes He did" and then follow it up the response "because He is the God of love".  
My next statement to them would be "Show me". 

Actually, Jesus Christ while walking this earth said, Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.  Matt. 10:34

He went on further to say, v.35-39 "For I am come to set man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in-law against her mother in-law.  And a man's foes (enemies) shall be they of his own household.  He that loveth his father or mother more than me is NOT worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.  And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is NOT worthy of me.  He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."
Now I ask you, to think long and hard on the applications of such words.  Does Christ ask they we actually physically lose our life for him, such as the Muslims claim they do when they commit suicide bombings?  Not likely.    
 I propose that the 'life' Christ says we try to find  today is the 'life' of self satisfaction, one that is easiest to follow, one the may follow unquestioningly what our father or mother or brother or sister follows, that we are taught at school or church without thorough study of Jesus Christ's Word and prayer to find what is right and Truth for ourselves.  Could that not be a possible scenario for the meaning to the phrase of "findeth his life"? 
Do we follow the traditions of family and church and no longer search for what Christ actually says and asks of us?  Jesus says, "If you love me keep my commandments"  and yet pastors and family today teach us that the commandments were nailed to the cross, they died on the cross and if they are brought up that this is a works based style of life.  So we when we substitute Christ's words and requests with our own self styled religion that we  seem fit into so easily like a comfortable pair of jeans, are we not actually inadvertently 'finding our own life' (false salvation in other words), one that has eliminated critical thinking,  one that follows wherever the sheep go, moving down whatever path is the easiest not daring to turn back and wade through the criticism or attacks that may come when we do not follow their actions and thinking?   
And yet Christ says if you find your own life YOU WILL LOSE IT.  But if you give up what you want to do, what you feel is best and turn your heart to Christ and say, "Lord what is the life you want for me"  I give my life up to you to serve you and you only no matter what my mother or father may say or my spouse....I follow you, then and only then will Christ tell you that you have now found LIFE.  It's a promise with two edges to it like a sword. 
The BIG ANSWER:  Christ did not come for peace but with the Sword of the Spirit,  His WORD, His Commands,  His Mercy and he gives this to you if you  are ready to do battle with falsehood, ease of living and thinking, selfishness and pride as well as all other misleading sins that deny Christ.  In return as you give over yourself to complete service to Christ you now  Die to self = Life with Christ.
