“LOVE is NOT
Optional”
Even though Jesus was disappointed, betrayed, battered, hurt, beaten,
rejected & deserted: Jesus still chose to LOVE unconditionally!
Jesus & God must be our standard for Love!
Unconditional Love.
Most of us will love unless we are going to be hurt, disappointed or
rejected.
Our love is so fickle, self-centered, fleeting, inconsistent, judgmental, fails, cynical, biased, conditional.
That’s why our theme is “Rooted in Christ”. We must
be rooted in Christ & Love with the Love we received from Christ/ God! That’s a love
never fails!
Shawshank Redemption:Red serving 40 years in prison says:
These walls are funny.First you hate them.
Then you get used to them.Enough time goes by, you get so you
depend on them.That’s what it means to be
institutionalized.
We don’t have to go to prison to be institutionalized. Some
of us are living in our own prison walls. Confined to our own lives. In Christ we have a
chance to change it all.
Shawshank Redemption:Red’s parole hearing after 40 years:
Do you feel you’ve been rehabilitated?
Not a day goes by I don’t feel regret, and not because I’m in here or because you think I
should. I look back at myself the way I was. A young stupid kid who committed a terrible
crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense into him. Tell him the way
things are, but I can’t. That kids long gone and this old man is all that’s left. I’ve got to live
with that.
With Christ we get a 2nd chance! No matter how bad
things seem, Jesus can take us out of our situation. With God
nothings impossible!
