Greetings and salutations,the love of God, the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you. Jesus Christ does not offer qualifications to His Gospel. He says we must love our neighbor as ourselves and do good to those who hate you. Muslim or Jew,Hindu or Buddha, there is no "context" to the love and grace of Jesus Christ. All human beings, of all races and beliefs, we as Christians, are commanded to love. Even those who kill and prosecute fellow Christians, in the name of a false god in Iran, Egypt, Iraq,Saudi Arabia, and around the world, we must care for and love. We pray for the souls of those lost to suicide and murder in the name of a false god. The power of a loving and personal God will triumph over those who seek death and murder to advance the message of a false prophet, whoever that may be. Even in these dark days when the Christians are being prosecuted and killed by the forces of evil, Christ and His message of hope and peace will prevail, not because He puts it in "Context" or "Qualifies" but because in every human heart is a desire for peace and hope.
