Love beyond your tribe

Dr. Bill Rudd Blog 0 0
Pastor Harry Richard grieved as he watched flames consume Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Just two weeks earlier, his church in Louisiana was set ablaze. It was one of three predominantly black churches in his area that were intentionally burned down, according to police.
 
But the Baptist minister sensed the Lord at work: “I think that God is using these moments to bring us closer together as a world. This is God’s hand on our lives to make us realize that we are all connected in some form or fashion.” (The Daily Article)
 
Woe to the person who fails to grieve for the pain of those outside their own family, tribe, ethnicity, social status, age, gender, etc. Jesus’ commands to love one’s neighbor as oneself as well as one’s enemy allowed no exceptions. Love on . . .
