Outrageous Scenes
'Walk in love, as Christ also has loved us.' You're probably thinking - too far, right?
As Christians, we are called to love like Christ loved us. But washing actual feet. But the whole cross thing. That is a scary level. To do that will take silly amounts of grace. Why would we be set such a massive-sounding life model to try to meet? Well, when we forgive, we lift the curtain to another kingdom. A kingdom that most of the world rarely gets the chance to see. People far from God will get a glimpse of something that isn't normal, run-of-the-mill life to them. Something that goes beyond what the world around them could ever provide.
Those moments are when we really demonstrate what it means to live as followers of Christ. In Jesus' time, the Jewish people were persecuted and downtrodden. Jesus didn't call them to rise up and overthrow in a violent revolution, He called them to bless those who persecute them. Imagine a world where the first reaction to the word 'Christian' was to think of people who love outrageously. (It was once: barely 100 years after the resurrection, Christians in plague-ridden Rome stayed behind after the upper classes fled, in order to nurse the sick at the risk of death. People saw their love and converted in droves.) What a thing to be known for. It was what we were always meant to be known for.
