In our culture today, do we really know and understand what it means to love someone like Jesus would? Many of you have read the book,The Shack. If you haven't, you should, not because it is a great doctrinal reading but because it is has great imagery.
Anway, what strikes me in this book, is the realness of Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. It is thought provoking to the point that I question if in fact the author has met Jesus in a way that I wish I could! The relationship between Jesus and Mac, the main character, is a friendship of love, respect, and bold conversation.
Through this friendship,Mac begins to understand Jesus in ways he never has before.
Do we love people in our lives that way? Do we love and respect them? Do we have bold conversations with them? Do we ask the hard questions in love and with respect? Not because we want to prove anything but because we truly love?
Grace, our 11 year old, loved a friend yesterday in such a way that she asked some bold and hard questions. She loved this friend so much that she was able to introduce this friend to Jesus.
