 We consider Jesus to be both God and man. As a man, Jesus had to live in his own culture with its values, politics and struggles. He had to speak in a language that people could understand using metaphors, narratives and parables that made sense to them, even if they could not always absorb the full meaning.

As God, Jesus had to know that his message must be essential enough and expansive enough that it could embrace and have meaning for the human community as each generation of humans moves toward enlightenment and full realization of their potential.

Love is the essence of Jesus’ message. For us, now, this revolves very often around gender, sexual orientation and religious belief. The dialogue is largely about tolerance and acceptance. But this is the lowest level of what love expects.

So then, WWJL?
