When we read Luke 6:17, 20-26, we often focus on the first few ’blessed’ verses, skipping over verse 22, in which Jesus is daring us to live as he taught. We are to love one another (all ‘one anothers’!) We are to help those in need. We are to welcome the stranger, and so on. The Bible is full of his words telling us how to live and it comes down to love – love – love. The goal of Christians, the followers of Jesus, is to live with acceptance, love, and compassion for all.
