There is much we can learn from a person with Down Syndrome.
Christians ought to respond when a member of Christ’s body is harmed. Will we take care of one another?
This is an emotional phenomenon known as attachment: when we identify with it to the point of ownership. We take everything said or done about the subject “personally.”

Jesus is our true brother because He completely understands what we go through in this life.
