Doing It to Someone Christ loves is the same as Doing It to Him

(And Christ Loves the Entire Human Race)


When Paul was persecuting Christians, Jesus took it so personally that he said:

    Acts 9:4-5  . . . “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. (Emphasis mine.)

    1 Corinthians 10:22,24 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? . . . Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good.

    1 John 4:20 If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
