Wednesday Fifth Week of Lent

John 8:31-42

Violence and darkness spread across the world and we can get lost in the theme of violence and hatred fueled by fear.  

When we turn on media sources it is difficult to watch without finding ourselves feeling desperate or hopeless or angry or hate-filled.  We look for leaders to calm and reassure our security by their words and actions in times of great distress and unsure times.

When we say we are a follower of Christ we are saying that we will do as Christ does. Love. 

Love in the face of hatred.  Love in the face of violence.  Love in the face of your executioners. Love when we are falsely accused.  Love when we are cast away from society.  Love when we don't get our way.  Love when we are misunderstood.  Love is the way to the heart of Christ and the way of Peace.  Always Love.

Jesus knows how we feel and why we feel the way that we do.  Trust Him and ask Him to open our hearts to His Love.
