No Man Can Serve Two Masters

I’ve heard both people and pastors call the recent looting and riots a distraction from the real issue (in their view – racism)

But I wonder if the real distraction, the real result is to keep people from focusing on Following Jesus Christ.

It’s hard to focus on two things at the same time.  In Luke 16, verse 13 it says “No servant can serve two masters”.  And no one can ?

We can not love and hate at the same time.  It’s just not possible.

Jesus commands us to love God with our whole heart and soul and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.  If we follow that command, then we can not possibly mistreat someone else.  No matter what they may have done.

And if we put all of our focus on Following Jesus, then we won’t be able to focus on the virus, the looting, the riots, or any of the other difficulties that will come.

Look up and keep looking up, you will find it is impossible to look down at the same time ?
