Yesterday's sermon really shook me up. In the midst of betrayal and denial (Jn 13), Jesus loved. I think about the people who have betrayed me and it has been hard to love. Not only that but, if I have come to the point of loving, it takes a while to process and ask God to deal with my heart. Jesus did it instantly. He was so good that he didn't need a week, month, or a year to deal with everything and love. He did it instantly.
What would it look like if we loved like this. What would happen if we went to the people that have hurt us and asked them for forgiveness for our bitterness. I know what you are already thinking because I am thinking the same. They will think that we for sure have lost it- You are a weirdo! Probably so, but what about the freedom that we will experience knowing that we have followed Christ and that we have released them, given that hurtful situation to God.
Something to think about...
