During his earthly ministry, Jesus showed love to a wide range of people: Hebrews and Gentiles, men and women, the poor and the powerful. He went out of his way to eat and socialize with people looked down upon by society. Jesus let them know that he saw them, cared about them, and came to save them.
Our neighbors might have different backgrounds, beliefs, or lifestyles, but we are called to love them just the same. Embracing diversity and seeing others through God's eyes allows us to build stronger, more inclusive communities. Don鈥檛 let superficial differences color your perception of others.
Remember,Jesus died for all people - even the ones who look, speak, think, and behave differently from us. He understands that all people have a lot more in common than we have differences. We all share a fallen world and we all need compassion and salvation. We all long to be loved and accepted. There is perhaps no better way to draw people into God鈥檚 church than by pouring out our love on them.
