How far should love go? very challenging question, I am convinced that many of us, have a great deal to learn what that means.What limits did our blessed Saviour put on love?, I believed that He had a heart of love for everyone,yet he died on the cross.Which reminds us that there is often a price involved in loving people, that is the challenge,are we prepared to accept that challenge?.Martin Luther king Jr,said,'We love men not because we like them,not because their ways appeal to us,nor even because they possess some kind of divine spark. We love every man because God loves them..' Humanity can often manifest a depravity that is worse than wild beasts,and often it is dressed in religious garb.We would not be short in showing many examples of this,the crucifixion of Jesus is the greatest example.Every human being manifests a degree of their fallen nature,there are no perfect people, no one cannot escape the coming judgement of God the righteous judge.Yet , while they still live ,the love of God continually reaches out to them ,till their dying breath ,that's how far the love of God goes.So it is, we must not give up on people,yes even the worst of people, that's how far love should go. Ivan Karamazov said that,'In every man ... a demon lies hidden,'.Or one could say that in every man their is a Jekyll and Hyde.But here is the positive ,Christ Jesus came into this world to save sinners,
