I Love the Guy

I Love this guy
I don’t know where this came from exactly but it’s true. It describes a man I love and admire,

He had long hair and a beard

He didn’t work for corporations

He hung out with prostitutes, criminals
and other unsavoury characters

He advocated paying your taxes

He advocated giving away your personal possessions

He advocated social justice

He gave people hope instead of fear
He advocated change instead of the status quo

He preached Peace not war

He upset local conservatives

His philosophy was based on compassion, equality, Inclusion,
forgiveness, tolerance, peace and most importantly Love.

These are values that are considered liberal values today. Yet he preached these values two thousand years ago. One of his most famous quotes is,
“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets” Matthew 7:12.
His name was Jesus.
If you claim to be a Christian are you espousing these values?
Please think about it.
