Jesus builds his personal brand around love.

Have you ever felt as though your life is nothing special? Does it seem as though nothing you do is all that important? God sees it differently. Just as a skilled potter can take a formless lump of clay and turn it into a beautiful vase, so also God accomplishes extraordinary things in our world using ordinary people like us. This week we focus on how we are called to love like Christ. At his very heart, God is a God who forgives. He extends mercy. He repays evil with good. As people who have been on the receiving end of this love, in fact whose very essence as Christians was formed by this love, we naturally do the same for others.
