Do you love you enemy?



Have you really thought about these words from Jesus before?

Luke 6:35 But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.

Wow. It isn’t a joke, Jesus meant it. This is not up for debate, it is a command from Jesus. If you are a follower of Jesus, you were once an enemy of Jesus. Yes you were a sinner, the very reason He went to the cross, thus demonstrating for us that He loved His enemies so much He was willing to die for them. Think on that for a bit!

You see if we love our enemies it is the only way that we might reach them with the good news of Jesus. They see we are different and care about them and maybe just maybe will wonder why we do good to them even when they do bad to us.

This is possibly the hardest thing in life to do....love and do good to those who are not kind and loving towards us, but with the power of the Holy Spirit, it is just the way we can win the world for Jesus!

Love your enemy today!
