Spread Peace
Following Jesus won’t make everyone like you. In fact, Jesus promised the opposite would often be true. How we respond when people attack us is one of the best indicators of whether our faith is real or not. Do we widen the conflict or spread the peace?
The Sermon on the Mount is often acclaimed (even by non-Christians) as the greatest moral teaching ever presented. It dares us to dream of the world-changing things that could happen if we began to walk like Him.
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
