Love Your Enemies


"Love your enemies, do good those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you... turn the other cheek..." Luke 6:27-29

Because of our sin we were enemies of God. In his goodness, he loved us even though we are all flawed. If Jesus who is perfect forgave and loved his enemies... how much more should we who are flawed ourselves be willing to forgive. Jesus love for his enemies (for us when we were his enemies) changed them... his love for the world that rejected him demonstrates how loving our God is... It also shows that love can defeat sin... selfishness... evil... LOVE WINS!

If we are really going follow Jesus, we have to let his love change our heart about "enemies." If Jesus loves them.... so should we. His forgiveness has made us who we are... maybe our forgiveness will turn someone else's life around.
