Tougher Love

If you ever needed convincing that Christ’s love is not just syrupy sentiment, this gospel gives you more than enough proof. On his journey to the cross, Christ is demanding of himself and demanding of us. He’s very clear about what he expects from us: Following him… being a Christian… is not just something we fit into our schedule. It is our schedule. Loving him is not an aspect of our life. It is our life.
