Matthew 5:43-48 This is a time of year when "goodwill toward all" definitely gets tested. Seeing problematic people at times of celebration and fellowship can remind us that there is no easy fix for enmity. We don't always feel very christmasy when we are around others who have mocked, hurt, mistreated, or excluded us. If we look to God's example in the first Christmas, though, we find a pretty challenging example to live up to: When we were God's enemies, he spoke peace to us and sent his Son; Christmas is a time to offer reconciliation and healing, like he does!
