If Jesus came for a visit

I was thinking what would happen if Jesus came to visit America today.

The blue lives matter group would gather around him.
The black lives matter group would gather around him.
The all lives matter group would gather.
Trump supporters would be there.
Those against trump would be there.
Random protesters would be there.

Pretty soon everyone would be shouting at each other.
Threats would be made against each other.

But amid the noise and the din, from time to time various people would look over at Jesus and notice that he wasn't saying anything.

Little by little, more people noticed that although Jesus was there, he wasn't saying anything.  The noise began to die down.  Finally there was silence.

Jesus stepped forward.
[he has a way of speaking to us when we stop talking.]

One by one, he looks deeply into the eyes of each person there.   Every person on every side and he said to each of them over and over and over...

Love one another.
Love one another.
Love one another.
Love one another.
Love one another.
Love one another.
Love one another.
Love one another.
Love one another.
Love one another.
Love one another.
Love one another.
Love one another.
Love one another.

Everyone went home that day with a new reminder of what was important in life.  They took seriously his words and began treating each other differently.

It could happen.
It starts with you and it starts with me.
