Why Jesus Loved even the Opps
To my curious 8 year Nephew who gets in too much trouble
Dear Nephew,
I’m glad you asked that question. It’s a really important one, and one that I think many people struggle with.
You see, Jesus loved people who weren’t his friends because he loved everyone. He didn’t just love the people who were kind to him, or who agreed with him, or who were his friends. He loved everyone, without exception.
This is because Jesus saw the value and worth in each and every person. He saw that every person is created in the image of God, and that every person has the potential to be loved and transformed by God.
Furthermore, Jesus loved people who weren’t his friends because he wanted them to know the love of God. He wanted them to experience the joy and peace that comes from knowing and being known by God.
And finally, Jesus loved people who weren’t his friends because he is a perfect example of how we should love others. He showed us that love is not just an emotion or a feeling, but an action and a choice. He showed us that we should love others, even when they don’t deserve it or when it is difficult.
In short, Jesus loved people who weren’t his friends because he loves everyone, and because he wants us to love others in the same way. It is a lesson that we can all learn from, and a lesson that can change our lives.
Sincerely,
David.
