A friend of mine shared an incident where his son shared certain cornerstones of the Christian faith with a friend at school. When my friend received the phone call, the word “tolerance” came up.
My friend responded with “Tolerance is a cop out.”
Crickets on the other side of the phone.
He went on to explain “Tolerance means that I can tolerate what you say, but still hate your guts.” Jesus’ teachings went way beyond tolerance. He instructed us to “Love our Neighbors in the very same way we love ourselves.”
Strive to move beyond tolerating your neighbor: love ‘em.
