Finding Nemo is one of my top three all time favorite Disney movies. I love it because it speaks of a father who would go to any lengths to rescue his son, even when his son defies him. You can tell what is the center of Marlin's heart - unconditional love. I'm not sure we have enough unconditional love in this world today. We so quickly abandon one another when times get hard. We will stick with one another as long as we are getting something out of it. But that isn't unconditional love.
For Christians unconditional love has Christ as its center. The same needs to be true in our homes, communities, and churches. We need Christ to be at the center, otherwise we get too quickly divided and distracted and treat each other in ways that do not affirm Christ's love for this world.
How can we move towards treating each other with more unconditional love?
