Is there any phrase more terrifying than "we need to talk?" It's the universal signal things are about to get tense. Whether you're hearing it from a parent, friend, teacher, boyfriend, or girlfriend, it means there's a fight or conflict that needs to be resolved. But here's the thing — we all know how to fight (no one has to teach us that), but we don't always know how to fight well.
In the Bible, a guy named James gives us some advice on how to love others more like Jesus would, specifically in the midst of fights and conflict. He tells us to stop being so selfish, to ask God for wisdom, and most importantly, to be peacemakers — to fight for each other, instead of against each other. Kind of like how Jesus fought for us. So here's one way to make a radical difference in the world by loving each other as Jesus loves us: radical people fight for peace.
It seems like a contradiction: fighting for peace. What do you think that looks like in our daily lives?

About this Plan
Jesus had a lot to say about love, but not everyone loved him. Instead, Jesus’ opponents hated him, attacked him, and saw him as extreme — a radical. And they had a point! The things Jesus taught about loving God and others challenged the status quo. In this 4-week devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we'll look at four ways Jesus invites us to love others according to his revolutionary example.
