About this listen
Love your enemies…this feels like one of the hardest things Jesus tells those of us who want to follow him. Do good to those who hate you, pray for those who abuse you. How can we actually live this way? The world around us feels increasingly divided, every day the news points to political infighting, stories of hatred and abuse filling our collective consciousness. Hatred has a way of multiplying within us.
We have a tendency in this life to mirror our opponent, to become the very thing we say we hate. Jesus invites us to walk another way. A way of mercy and love. A way of forgiveness and generosity.
Change must begin with our own hearts, the power to forgive and be forgiven, to give and receive love, to move beyond our own ego and see that we are part of God’s vision. It is a dream that doesn’t make sense if we play by the rules of the world around us. We have to look to God to show us another way, to learn to love as God loves us.
