Walk a Mile in His Shoes?


            Empathy can be difficult to achieve. It certainly does not result from what comedian Billy Connolly recommended, "Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? He's a mile away. And you've got his shoes."
            Empathy includes seeking to understand someone from his perspective. That’s what Jesus literally did when he put on skin and came to Earth.
