That question probably made you think of specific individuals, but I mean it more broadly: what part of town makes you lock your car doors? What convenience stores would you not go in because you're nervous? What part of the world would you not want to visit?

We all have a fear of people who are different than us, it's natural to be anxious about the unknown. But Jesus calls us to something better: love for neighbor. Some fear is healthy, of course, but by and large people are people and we're all the same deep down.

And learning to respect the image of God in the person you fear will change your life and change the world.
