Christians are not to love their believing brothers to the exclusion of their non-believing fellowmen. That is ugly. We are to have the example of the good Samaritan consciously in mind at all times. (Francis Schaeffer)We need to see the children. If we, as Christians, walk away, what are we teaching the world about the ways of the Lord? Jesus showed up in the hard places. He took His seat next to the sinner and he also challenged the self-righteous to understand that anger never earns a seat at His table. This parable Jesus shared with His closest followers
... insists that enemies can prove to be neighbors, that compassion has no boundaries, and that judging people on the basis of their religion or ethnicity will leave us dying in a ditch. (Dr. Amy-Jill Levine)
