Redefining Love: Love Like Jesus
- Jesus elevated loving your neighbor by commanding us to love as He loved us, not just those like ourselves.
- This redefines love as other-centered and unconditional, challenging cultural and religious boundaries.
Love beyond Boundaries
- Jesus' love breaks down barriers between neighbors and enemies, making the question of 'Who is my neighbor?' irrelevant.
- Intentional Christ-like love on all, including enemies, becomes the gateway for their repentance and transformation.

- Matthew, a despised tax collector, was called by Jesus and left everything to follow Him, then hosted a banquet for outcasts.
- Jesus' willingness to join Matthew's feast offended the religious leaders and challenged religious norms.
