Is kindness inclusion? What if beliefs have to be altered to allow for this inclusion? Does Jesus love everyone with the same intensity, the same love? In the Gospel Reading I heard today, Jesus compared a Canaanite woman to a dog, did He love her the same as the Israelites He came to save?
She, the Canaanite woman, was not offended by Jesus, she basically said, "Yes I am a dog, but don't dogs deserve some of your love, Lord . . .even if it is only the leftover scraps of your love."
Hopefully Christians won't be surprised by the reaction they get from God, and His Son, Jesus Christ, when they have put their lives, and wealth, and even their sexuality, before their love of Jesus Christ. Inclusion, It isn't kindness, it is probably the most unkind thing that can be done to a person . . .For most of us, in truth, are dogs, begging for scraps we really don't deserve . . . .. .
