Scripture: Matthew 18:1-5 In a world where hate seems to be more prominent than love, we, as those who follow Jesus, have the opportunity to change the world. Loving like Jesus means that we love everybody—always: the neighbor who has late parties into the wee hours of the morning; the guy who cuts you off in traffic; the woman who screams at her husband in the parking lot; the kid who eggs your house; the person who looks different, smells different, worships different from me; the person with different values; the boss with anger management issues and the friend who’s always asking and never giving. Of course the list can go on and on, but the bottom line is, we are called to Be Love. This means love affects all of our behaviors, our actions, and our conversations. Throughout Lent we are using Bob Goff’s book Everybody Always to help us love like Jesus. We are looking forward to our time together this Lent—a time to take on the practice of being love to God’s world.
