Fear creates otherness. Love reclaims the other as brother or sister. One of fears powers is its ability to dehumanize the other. Love has the power to humanize the foreigner, the alien, and the outcast in our midst. The DisneyPixar film Monsters, Inc. reminds us of this. Let us be filled with love, not consumed with fear, so we can fill others with love -- because fear makes monsters, but love makes brothers and sisters. Sermon text Amos 510-15 1 John 47-21
