Post 4 (10/12)

A point from talking about Jesus' Kingdom and Church that really stuck out to me on Monday was under the category of Mission/Witness. The point was how Jesus tried to change the focus from overthrowing Rome to loving their enemies. It seems to me that our culture today could use a dose of this mentality. So often in our politics and everyday life we think of (name group here) as our enemy, how they're so different than us and how we're so right and they're so wrong. In reality--and this is easier said than done--it's our responsibility to love them for who they are. This the the challenge Jesus gave to us, and it's sad to see us--myself included--failing at this opportunity to love one another.
