““You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,” (Matthew 5:43–44, ESV) Forget what you heard in the world – Hear what Jesus says to you and to me and to all: Yes, love your neighbor. But also love those who are your enemies – those who hate you and would rather see you dead than alive. “Oh, but how can I do that?” You can’t / I can’t – but Christ in us can do all things. Amen
Going the extra mile is not ‘extra’ just basic Christianity
