As You Love Yourself

Sometimes we pass over the "as yourself" part of Jesus' essentials. But the revolutionary good news Jesus shared is the message that we are loved by a God who says "You are my beloved child, in whom I am well pleased". At the end of Jesus' ministry, he rephrases the essentials into one new vision of our life with God and each other and it begins with the simple fact that we, ourselves, are loved. Our journey is to learn to love ourselves as God does and let that love overflow into our world.
