My sermon tomorrow is about 'love'.
The collect says that anything we do without love means nothing.
The Old Testament lesson is Joseph welcoming the brothers who sold him into slavery in Egypt to join him--now an important man--and escape the famine in Israel.
Joseph loves those who made him a slave.
Amazing.
But Jesus goes further--"Love those who hate you", he says.
Along with many other difficult commandments.
Love is difficult.
But love is what matters.
Really....
