“I’m only human” is no excuse for inhumanity

Morning: Psalms 26, 28; Daniel 4:28-37; I John 4:7-21
Evening: Psalms 36, 39; Luke 4:31-37

Jesus’s mission is to invite us back to ourselves.  He is the truly human one who calls evil out and names it.  Evil easily overwhelms us, but evil is not who we are.  Inhumanity is to be dominated by forces alien to our humanity.  We excuse our shortcomings by saying, “I’m only human”, but Jesus will have none of it.  To be human is to live out the instinct for love that we carry in our DNA.  “I’m only human” is no excuse for inhumanity.  Hatred is in-human.  To be human is to love one another.
