He loved the sick, the poor, the disabled, the deformed, the mentally ill, the demon possessed, the disfigured, the elderly, the newborn, the prostitute, the tax collector and those that followed and believed in His divinity.\u00a0 He taught His disciples to do the same.\u00a0 His message of love for all continues today as His followers, through the power of the Holy Spirit, toil to love His children despite their sin.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>God, the Creator, gives each of us life.\u00a0 According to Holy Scripture, God loved us so, that He even made us in His own image.
