I have been doing research for an upcoming sermon that I have to do. I came across some great material.
In Matthew 5 Jesus is giving a teaching on Love and how we should love like the Father loves. Jesus goes on to say that the Fathers love is similar to how the sun shines and the rain falls, on the righteous and the unrighteous. The sun and the rain do not stop to decide if certain people deserve our love, nor do they hesitate for a moment to decide if certain people are worthy of loving. We should love in a similar manner, without regard to whether people are worthy or deserve our love. We are to simply love like the sun shines and rain falls, because that is what love does.
You will never know how burdensome it is to play God until you stop playing him. Let go of all judgment, and hopefully the burden of trying to discern who we are supposed to love will fade away. Agree with God that every person has unsurpassable worth in God's eyes and was worth Him dying for; This should free us up to simply love as God loves and leave all judgment to God. | | posted by Rich Ross | Comment (0) |
