Food for Thought
Jesus’ commands are not just our duty but our path to joy and love in life. The love he means us to have is the love that is welcoming, accepting, and forgiving of others – lived out as best we can. In the love that joins his followers together.
Without this love, the following of Jesus is empty and dry. His way of life is not just taught but shown to us by the way he lives.
