I watched the movie “Remember The Titans” tonight and was still moved by this true story of unity on a football team between black and white players and coaches.
It’s a great movie with a far greater spiritual impact than the movie portrays. I don’t want to take away from the movie, but we should be in unity with all peoples. In fact, we are commanded to do so. In Matthew, Jesus was asked what was the greatest commandment. Jesus replies that the greatest commandment was to love God and the second is like it – to love our neighbors. The pharisees ask for one and Jesus gave them two.
The truth is, that we are made in God’s image. That’s every man, woman and child of every race of mankind. And God’s love for man is so great, that He gave His Son Jesus to pay the debt that we could not pay for our sin so that we could come back into fellowship with God. That’s true love, and the kind of love that we are to have for each other. The second commandment.
These two commandments are so important that Jesus would say that all the law and the prophets hang on them. If we don’t love God and each other than nothing else matters. We don’t have the love of God in us.
Love never fails.
