There’s nothing quite as disturbing as watching those who claim to follow Jesus mock and dehumanize the very people Jesus loved and even the kind of people exhibiting the same characteristics he did, like being a man who freely expressed emotions and cried.

Jesus said his followers were to be known by their love for one another. Therefore, those who claim to follow Jesus yet are known for mocking and demonizing others are those who are taking his name in vain.

Followers of Jesus should be known for standing up for those who are being mocked, not the ones mocking others themselves.

Remember, Jesus wept: John 11:1-43, Luke 19:28-44, Luke 22:39-46, and Hebrews 5:7.
