We live in a society today that defines love as conditions. Well, I'll choose to love you when you choose to love me. False. Jesus Christ shows us a love that has never been exemplified for, that has never been lived out before, and that's this unconditional love.

I mean, Christ lays his life down on the cross knowing that the gift he is offering is going to be denied by some, and yet he still does it. The offer's on the table for everyone. That is unconditional, without strings attached.

The love Christ shows us and the love that we are called to show other people is a love that has zero strings attached, is a love that if we give it, we must come to terms with the fact that we may never get that love back. That's the love that Christ is asking us to show other people when he says, love your neighbor as yourself.

The very love that we've been shown is a love with no strings attached. And the very love that we begin to show other people is one with no strings attached, which is very hard to come around on. So James says, steer away from partiality. Don't just show favoritism. And that's why I love the passage in Matthew chapter 25, where there's the comparison of the sheep and the goats.

And then Jesus is something very important here. He says, for I was hungry and you gave me food. For I was thirsty and you gave me a drink. For I was naked and you clothed me. What you do to the least of these, you do unto me. That passage in Matthew 25 says, put a massive fear of the Lord in my life because it made me go, dang.

Yet when we walk by them today, after reading that passage, I'm looking at these men and women who may be homeless or less fortunate, or maybe it's friends at school or coworkers that are going through a hard time or retaliating in life and making bad decisions. And I look at those people and I go, man, that's someone's son, daughter. And to be quite frank, they're God's children.
