A Waste of Skin

<p>Who is the most valuable and who can we discount as unimportant? </p><p>Who is loved by God and who is it okay for us to hate?</p><p>That guy over there has always been a jerk to me, so it&apos;s okay for me to look down on him, right?</p><p>This woman has caused a lot of evil to be done over the years. It&apos;s okay for me to distain her actions and consign her to the pits of hell, isn&apos;t it?</p><p>This week we start to look at Matthew chapter 18, which tells us exactly how Jesus would answer all of these questions.</p><p>Questions and comments are always welcomed.
