Tear in the Eye of Jesus

We do not have him around any more to crucify him again, but there must be a tear in the eye of Jesus as he hears the Rev. Charles Worley in Maiden, NC  talk about what he wants to do with Gays, Lesbians, and Transgender people.

Rev. Worley does not have to accept Gays and Lesbians as his friends. In fact, the insult to Jesus is in the fact that Jesus tells us to love our enemies. If Gays and Lesbians are the enemies of Rev. Worley, then his Savior wants Rev. Worley to love them and pray for them.  It is evident that Rev. Worley has not read all the parts of the Bible he claims to follow.

Lillian Daniels, minister of a church in the Chicago area, said in a speech in Atlanta last week, that she was getting tired of being asked to apologize and explain the actions of Christians whose beliefs she does not share.  But that is the harsh obligation of Christians as we share one faith, one Lord, and one Baptism, and what one Christian says and does affects all the rest of us.  Rev. Worley has put a tear in the eye of Jesus. He has given Christians everywhere a black eye, all because he cannot find a way to love his enemies as Jesus has asked us to do.
