Hi all. Came a cross this passage in a book I was reading that takes a closer look into the question of what would Jesus do. The section is on love, which in my present understanding, sits at the very center of everything Christ does and means. Hope you enjoy and would love to hear your thoughts on it.
"The opposite of love is not hate- I would not have you hot or cold- but to be mean spirited, nit picking, parsimonious, never straying from inside the safe borders of an economy or a set of rules, never taking the risk of excess. The only measure of love is love without measure. Love is not measured by a rule, but rather love expends itself without return on behalf of the other. Love will stop at nothing, which is the excess that is ingredient in love." - John Caputo.
Yours,
Mitch
