Chicago can be a tough place to practice forgiveness, but Matthew 18:21-22 instructs us to forgive. We can practice forgiveness even in tough times through the strength of our Lord! How many times has Christ forgiven you? We can forgive those who’ve hurt us just as we are forgiven by God’s grace!

We Are Uptown: A Christ-Centered Community

The Christian life is intended to be lived in community. It is in a community that we grow in love. This is difficult for those of us in the West to fully comprehend. We are used to the primacy of choice, preference, and mobility. A church is a community that may not have our preferred choice of people. However, it is precisely around people that are not preferred where our ability to love grows. It is easy to love people whom you like and for whom you have an affinity. It is much harder to love people with whom you have little in common and with whom you don’t have affection. It is why there are so few churches that have true diversity. Diversity brings the challenge of forcing us to love those with whom we have significant differences whether national, racial, ideological, etc. Yet diversity is a marked principle of the church (Galatians 3:28).

Enough of that rant! The literal word for church is an assembly of the called. To be called means to be differentiated. The church is called to manifest a different ethic than those who are not called. One of the chief criticisms of the church is hypocrisy. The church claims to be different yet it ends up reflecting the same taboos, prejudices, anxieties, tensions, and ethos as those who are not in the church. The challenge of the church is to be a community centered in the agape love displayed by Jesus Christ.

It is this calling that is needed by the church today. In a world where love is conditional, prejudicial, and limited, the church is called to be a body of people who love people whether they are “deserving” or “undeserving.” The good news of Jesus Christ is that we are loved by God despite not deserving it. The church is called to manifest that love to the world. This starts with each other in community. We learn to love each other in the crucible of messy church life so that we become ambassadors of Christ’s love in the world.
