Explain Hadith 1.24 to me, how is this peaceful?

Dear friends,

I am researching Islam and have come across Hadith 1.24 which states:

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith - 1.24

Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah."

This is from one of the most trusted hadiths. I am researching Islam to see if it is just poorly or falsely portrayed, but what I’m finding is a stark contrast to Jesus message of peace, love and forgiveness. Please assist me in understanding.
