What a Difference this would make
If we remembered Genesis 1:27, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” and Matthew 5:43-48, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
Imagine the implications when it comes to relationships, and how we see and treat other people and how they should be treated, e.g., health care resources, respect, etc.
Reading a book by Dr. Kilner and he mentions these thoughts and fleshes them out. It is a wonderful book that forces the reader to actively engage with the text.
