15:45Now PlayingOne of my great convictions is that we're called to love those who we disagree with. A little over a year ago, in preparation for teaching a series on different faiths, I found myself sitting across the table from a group of Muslims at a local mosque. During my time at the mosque I was able to hear from these people about what it's like to be a Muslim in the United States, how they experience prejudice, and so much more. Most importantly, we talked about how Christians and Muslims can work together to build a better world.
This wasn't about glossing over our differences. This was about bringing them to the light and loving one another in the midst of them. The love Jesus calls his followers to isn't simply a love of those who look like you, think like you, and believe like you. The love Jesus calls us to is a radical love that sees everyone as neighbor and calls us to love across the lines that we draw in the sand between us.
