Sometimes we say we love our brothers and sisters in Christ, but we don't practice it. Jesus said that this love must be different enough to distinguish us as His disciples. This is a selfless love that extends it to those who don't deserve it. We must put up with idiosyncrasies, include those that are tolerated, quickly forgive wrong-doing, etc. Let's look for ways to practice Christ's sacrificial love so that the world will see our lights, distinct from the darkness.
