God loves everyone (Jn. 3:16). We are to love as God loves (Jn. 15:12). It is a trademark of Christ’s followers (Jn. 13:35). Love “keeps no record of wrongs” (1 Cor. 13:5 niv). “Love does not delight in evil” (1 Cor. 13:6). “Love will cover a multitude of sins.” (1 Pet. 4:8)
Now apply this to literally everyone (Matt. 5:44). Apply it to church and government leaders who have made mistakes during the pandemic. Apply it to political leaders you fervently disagree with. Apply it to people who are criminals.
The world keeps its lists of wrongs and humiliates people with their sins. The world rejoices when bad things happen to those it dislikes. We are tempted to join the world. Instead, join God in expressing extraordinary love.
