I must take care to not lose equanimity when I see messages from someone purporting to speak for Jesus that contradict everything I’ve learned from studying the Gospels.
Just today I saw another social media post passing along blatant lies. This has become a regular occurrence. I don’t know what has so riled up the person to repost stuff from unknown sources. I wrote an extensive reply. Then I deleted it. Then I muted the person such that I will no longer see these things.
Even social discussions when someone blathers a rude opinion rarely deserves a reply. Maybe a “not everyone agrees with that.” And let it drop.
When called upon, it is my duty to defend Jesus.
My first job, according to Jesus, is to love those who oppose me—and Jesus.
I’m improving—but still trying.
