The sermon for Sunday's service at Wakefield.
“Though
we cannot think alike, may we not love alike?”
That’s
my sermon. That’s it.
You
need not think alike to love alike.
You
expected more, didn’t you? Really. That’s it. Easy! (or as a very popular TV
advert says “Simples”).
All
right. I’ll admit it isn’t easy. I know it up here, in my head. You know it, in
your heads, and in your hearts, in your gut instinct, but it’s often hard to
put into practice.
Jesus
said everything he was saying was about love. Love your neighbour. Love
yourself. Love life. Love God.
Love,
he said, is the Universal. If not, “God is Love,” then surely, “Love is
God”-the holy of holies, the spirit of life.
