Paul is writing this letter to Christians, no matter their background. The key to this passage is that Paul is telling the churches in Rome on how to achieve biblical unity. Paul places the first idea on finding out what we all have in common, whether they were a Jew, a Gentile, or a Pagan who now follows Christ.

Jesus must have thought this was important as he had told his disciples directly what the ministry of Jesus looks like. While healing and casting out demons are seen as Jesus doing the miraculous, Jesus is revealing that the miracle of taking care of those in need is just as great of miracle. Why? Just like we, in our own power cannot do any of the things that deal with healing and spiritual warfare, human nature is SO flawed that what would be the greatest miracle would be if people simply cared for all people!

So, hate can be like cancer. Undiagnosed or unrecognized, a malignant tumor can grow little fingers that spreads to other parts. If you don’t catch it in time, it can lead to death. Hate is like cancer metastasizing. Insomuch, hate leads to the scandal of libel, slander, and gossip. Then that cancerous cell has a bunch of buddies, just like him, ready to spread and make all around them unhealthy.
Preparing for a busy September!
