Misguided Faith

April 25
Our small group video this evening is about the destructive Crusades of the 11th century and is entitled "Misguided Faith."

A lively discussion follows the film. No one condones the violence of the Crusades. Finally someone asks, "What would Jesus have done?"
I think of the restraint Jesus showed His disciples in the garden. He would have told the "crusaders" to go home.

“One of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. But Jesus answered and said, ‘Permit even this,’ and He touched his ear and healed him.” (Luke 22:50-51)
