I didn’t teach tonight. I met with parents to talk about our middle school sunday school, or more accurately, the decision to cancel the class.
But XStream went well. My buddy Pete stepped in to lead the talk, KimmyD led worship like always, and small groups went well. Tonight the group talked about the second half of the Great Commandment, and what it means to love your neighbor. It is so encouraging to know that our leaders are stepping up and able to lead without me..
Amazing, isn’t it, to think that something Jesus taught thousands of years ago is still culturally relevant and hard-hitting. All the laws the Jewish people were to follow, all the teaching of the prophets, neatly summed up in a few lines: Love God, love your neighbor as you love yourself.
Simple. Elegant. Clear. Direct.
Not always so easy to do…
Simple, not easy.
