Doctrines, political philosophies, and material possessions come to be ends in themselves, promoting our superiority, rather than means by which we serve persons valued by God. Eyes straying from the goal, we lose grasp of a remarkable point, though great Christian thinkers of our time have directed our attention to it. This is the key which should leap out any time we are dealing with friends or enemies or both: God loves each. And when I say, “leap out,” I do not mean this point should sneak up from behind, catching us off guard. Rather, our mind should put it foremost.
