Do. Love. Walk.

The axis of the Christian moral revolution is love, and it is the only sign given by Jesus by which the disciple would be recognized. The danger lurks in our subtle attempts to minimize, rationalize, and justify our moderation in this regard.

Turning the other cheek, walking the extra mile, offering no resistance to injury, being reconciled with one’s brother, and forgiving seventy times seven are not arbitrary whims of the Son of Man. He did not preface the Sermon on the Mount with, “It would be nice if…” So central is the precept of fraternal love that Paul called it the fulfillment of the law.
