What sets Christians apart? Our love for other people. Not just fellow Christians, our friends or those that can benefit us, but everyone. We love those who hurt us, steal from us, those who curse us. We give without expecting something in return. We give to those who ask, to those who are in need.
I think this reading is especially important right now. We seem to find ourselves in an us vs. them mentality. The election outcome might not be what we wanted, the special interest groups might been pushing an agenda that we do not agree with. Just remember to hate the sin, not the sinner. It's not about us vs. them. It's about us with Him. Look to Jesus, treat others the way He treated them. Even better, treat others the way Jesus has treated you - with compassion, forgiveness, and a blank slate.
