Episode 13
I'm so trouble by all the hate that is currently in our country! The recent killing of George Floyd by a white police officer...all caught on video. It's horrible and so troubling to watch! And now a week later our country is in chaos with rioting and looting every night. I fully support the peaceful protesting for George and other black people who have been victims of racism! It's not right! It's evil!
But I do not support the rioting and looting that others are doing (all races)! That's wrong as well! That's evil as well!
God created ALL of us in the imagine of Himself! We as humans (no matter color, gender, race, socioeconomic status, etc) are all God's children! We need more love! Love doesn't allow for racism! Love doesn't even allow for us to hate our enemies!
We are called to love others as ourselves!
Mark 12:29-31
...So he asked, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” Jesus replied, “The one that says, ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only God. And you must love him with all your heart and soul and mind and strength. “The second is: ‘You must love others as much as yourself.’ No other commandments are greater than these.” (TLB)
We are also called to love our enemies as hard as that may be!
Matt 5:43-45
“You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. (NLT)
Jesus was an innocent man who was tormented, humiliated, and murder. He responded in love and said to pray for them! We need to follow Jesus' lead. We need to love everyone! We can't change others. But we can love others and pray for others and pray that God changes their hearts and takes the evil and hatred out of them.
