It’s important to understand that this was a sign to the Jews that if they rejected Jesus as their King they would be cursed, of course they did ...read more

Defining Love - Genuine Love Isn't Normal Series

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 16, 2013

Jesus followers are a weird group of people. We don’t live like other people. We don’t have the same priorities or look at life the same way as everyone else. Genuine love always points people to Jesus Christ.
