(Mission Cast) Love Shaped Kindness (Genesis 50:21 ; Eph 4:32) (Discipleship)

We discuss how the ability to be kind to one another and tender-hearted in rooted in a personal experience with God’s love.  When we know we are truly and dearly loved by God we are able to love others as Christ has loved us.   Joseph prefigures Jesus Christ, who was betrayed and sold into the hands of evil men by his brothers.  Yet Christ forgave them on the cross.  He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.    We enjoyed editing two Christmas Special videos that we highly recommend, both produced by THE CHOSEN.  One is “The Shepherd” and the other is “The Messengers.”  As we watched them, we were deeply moved to tears as we consider that humble condition in which Jesus was born.   We wish you all a very blessed Christmas and pray that the wonder of Christ’s love is restored to all of you in deeply powerful ways. Jeff and Mim.
