When you read the four Gospels in the New Testament one thing stands out very clear, where ever Jesus showed up, something amazing usually happened. It all started at a wedding in Canna. Jesus was a problem solver for many people. The ironic thing is, the church and the religious leaders of the day saw Him just the opposite. They saw Jesus as a problem creator.
How could the same guy be defined in two such radically different ways?
Jesus was solving problems for the broken hearted, the left out, the rejected, the outcasts. Many times the people Jesus was helping were the very same people the religious people despised and shunned. Do you think He might have been trying to tell us something?
Think about that!
Don't let your religion get in the way of love!
Love always wins!
