The Neighbors who are Hard to Love
Luke 10:25-37
"The Neighbors who are Hard to Love," a sermon preached by the Very Rev. Bernard J Owens on Sunday, October 23, 2022.
"The Neighbors who are Hard to Love," a sermon preached by the Very Rev. Bernard J Owens on Sunday, October 23, 2022.
"Love your neighbor as yourself. Not just the ones who are easy to love, who look like you, think like you, act like you, shop like you, dress like you, vote like you. That’s easy. Love the ones who aren’t so easy to love, because that’s when the kin-dom of God gets real."
"In a world where we increasingly gravitate towards communities of radical like-mindedness, where our homogeneity makes it easier than ever to love our familiar neighbor, Jesus suggests that our true neighbor is to be found out there, on the exposed and dangerous highways, or even in the ditches beside the road."
