RE: Jesus' Command to "Love Your Enemies"..........How is this even possible?

in #christianity7 years ago

Very nice.

When I think of all the places the Lord commands us to love our enemies, I try to think of the ways He shows us what He means by His actions. He gave up equality with the Father to save us, He offered up His own life for us even though He could have escaped, He healed the man who came to arrest Him after Peter cut His ear off, and he prayed for the forgiveness of the men who were killing Him even as He hung on a cross.

The love He talks about isn't some feeling we have, as if we could have the same feelings for an enemy as we do for our parents or wife. He's talking about action. He showed love by serving others.

God bless.
