How many of you squirmed in your seats today when you heard that loving others like Jesus loved us was supposed to feel uncomfortable? I did.
How about that part of the sermon describing a stay at someone's house after they invited you, and the food is bad and the company even worse, and everything in your brain screams "I don't want to be here!"
But you stay, because this is a neighbor.
How about the person who loses their family, their home, and their sense of well-being through no fault of their own? Will you help? Will you stand by him or her? Or will you pass this person on to an agency who is designed to provide for their physical needs to save your time, your money, and perhaps your own sanity? This, too, is your neighbor.
How uncomfortable are you willing to be, to love your neighbor?
