Choose to Love

We all make many choices each day, from the time we get up to the time we go to bed (both choices!). In July we will study the Gospel of Luke, in stories about Jesus and one story Jesus told, about the kinds of choices that please God. Many of these choices are hard to make, but God will help us make them as we try to live in ways that please Him.

This Sunday we will look at one of the times Jesus taught the people about God, as He taught us how we should choose to love others. We should love everyone. Not just those who love us and are kind to us…Jesus taught that we should even love our enemies and those who are unkind to us. Jesus said that anyone can love those who love them, but we are to be different…we are to be like God Himself, who loved each one of us even when we were sinners and enemies of God.

Part of Jesus’ teaching was the Golden Rule: Do to others as you would have them do to you. This is a better way to live than the silver rule: Do to others as they do to you. And much better than the iron rule: Do to others before they do to you. God’s way is the highest and best.

It is difficult to follow this command, because we are not used to doing it. Those around us often don’t follow God’s command, either. But, as followers of Jesus, we will want to follow His teachings and do our best (with His help) to love everyone.

Join us this Sunday as we learn how to put Jesus’ teaching into practice in our lives. One good way to be kind to others is to invite them to come with you to Sunday School!
