Ep. 1376: Do I Really Have to Love My Enemies?

Theme Scripture: Luke 6:27-28

Loving the people we know and appreciate can be hard work in general, never mind loving our enemies. There is so much emotion involved in loving others, and let’s face it, sometimes even those we appreciate can act in ways that cause us aggravation! When it comes to how we are to treat ALL of those around us - whether we like them or not - Jesus taught us a very high standard to live by. Luke’s account of Jesus' words from the Sermon on the Mount clearly lays out the way we should be striving to live, especially in relation to those who stand against us. If we give it a chance, focusing on what Jesus said and working at practically, applying it to our everyday lives, can fundamentally change the way we see and treat everyone around us.
