A New England Pastor has taken in an convicted child killer that has recently been released from prison after serving more than 30 years in prison. People have threatened to burn his house down. The neighbors have set up a tent across the street to monitor the convict's movements, and the cops have an hourly drive-by of the residence.
Is this what Jesus called us to do? Is this over the top. Is this showing love to somebody who doesn't deserve it? follow the think, read the article, and watch the video. Please leave a comment. I am curious as to what you think!

How Far Would You Go For Love

I think the love of Jesus is extravagant,insane, impossible, beyond understanding, far reaching, to every person without conditions. I think Jesus has called us to this sort of love. Christians today live in the same sort of fear (myself included) that the world lives with. God has called us to love radically. We hold on to our lives and possessions and safety as tightly if not more so than the world. Yet scripture is clear as to how we are supposed to love and what we are to do with our things and our worries.
