At CrossWay yesterday we had the second week in the series “i am second.” This week’s message was “How to Love Someone to Death.”
We started with this testimony from Chris Plekenpol. Then we read Romans 5:6-8 and Matthew 5:43-47. These two passages are summed up in Ephesians 4:32, which says to “be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.”
We naturally live according to our own standard of love, which says that we’re kind to those who are kind to us. But Jesus teaches us to be kind to everyone and to even pray for people who persecute us! That’s a different way of doing things, and it’s the kind of difference that sets God’s people apart.
The podcast at least recorded this week, though the sound quality isn’t too great. But a new recorder is on the way!
