Who are "your people?" Who are the people you understand, the folks you connect with most easily? However valuable those relationships might be, God has always had more in mind. It is natural to love those who are most like us. It is supernatural to love those who are different but for their shared connection to Jesus.

For Reflection:

The Jewish and Gentile believers found it much easier to love people in their own group, which is the main challenge addressed by this entire letter.

- Who are the people you find easiest to love? What makes it easy to love them? What affinities do you share?

- Prayerfully consider connections you may already have to people with whom you have less natural affinity. What might be something you could do to open the door to a deeper relationship?
