Jesus leads us from mere religious holiness to relational wholeness. He is teaching us how to be "perfect" in mercy, not just morality.

God-like love will change our hearts, and God-like love will save the world. Freely we have received, and freely we give.

Love, not law, is the way to maximum human flourishing.

Using others as kindling to stoke our inner fires of desire is one of the ways we devalue and dehumanize God's image on earth.

According to Jesus, whatever it is we think anger and outrage are helping us accomplish, love will do a better job.

The crucifixion of Christ was history's most murderous injustice. But Jesus claimed it was his plan all along. What was he up to?

If Jesus had a catchy slogan for his Good News message, it might be: MORE LOVE, LESS RELIGION.

Life is love, period. Everything else is commentary.
