The Way of Jesus demands we build bridges

Morning: Psalms 93, 98; Jonah 2:1-9; Acts 2:14, 22-32
Evening: Psalm 66; John 14:1-14

Yesterday, religious extremists killed over 200 people in Sri Lanka, some of them Christians.  Recently, in New Zealand, Muslims were killed; before that in Pittsburg, it was Jews.  All were at worship.  Certainly, our religious paths are very different.  But the Way of Jesus demands that Christians take initiative to bring people together, making it safe, listening to one another and building a community where all can live in peace.  We may believe differently, but every human life is sacred.  Sectarian violence contradicts the Way of Jesus ... Love is the Way.  It’s time to build bridges, not walls.
