Faith Venture

I know a guy whose T-shirt reads, “Jesus took naps; be like Jesus.”

I can go with that.

Someone recently told me that his favorite divisive political commentator was like Jesus for he “tells it like it is directly.”

I wouldn’t compare any politician (choose your flavor) to Jesus. His message was to turn Roman culture on its head. Instead of every relationship being based on power, Jesus based relationship on love. Not sentimental love. Not necessarily tough love. But love all the same.

People who spread hate and divisiveness (choose your flavor) could use an infusion of Jesus’ type of love. 

Can you disagree without being disagreeable?

Can you live without hate?

Can you accept that people are different from you?

I know it’s hard. Nobody said following Jesus was easy.
