The more I try to love people I don’t like, the more I find out that it’s not just hard. It’s actually costly. It requires something of me, something sacrificial.
Faith
Authority
It was as if their leaders, the ones who claimed God’s truth, who called them to follow God’s law, who confidently declared who was “in” and who was “out,” didn’t really know God at all.
Judgment
Condemnation blinds. Only love can see.
Perfect
Remember how you thought you weren’t blessed? Why should your enemies be any less blessed?
Indulgence
The sin, says Jesus, is more than our behavior. It is a heart that refuses to honor the humanity of others.
