Austin Chinese Church

A neighborhood contains all kinds of people—people very different from ourselves. So we won’t get very far with loving our neighbors if we don’t practice tolerance and grace, to both accept their differences and to actively love them even if we don’t think they deserve it. Jesus loved people very different from himself; He moved toward even sinners and the down-and-out with not just tolerance but grace. Luke 7:36-50 has important lessons to teach us about the connection between experiencing grace and extending it. - Pastor Arthur Hsu
