The Litmus Test

10/13/2014

Is there a better litmus test for what it means to be a Christian, a follower of the Christ, than the love of ones enemy?

I know that it's really hard, but didn't Jesus become one of us, powerless in the face of Roman violence and oppression, to show us how to do it and because we could do it -- by his spirit with the help of a community committed to God's will being done "on earth as it is in heaven?"

This feels like the one thing that Christians have to offer that the world might actually want.
