italicHOW TO LOVE OUR ENEMIES?
Luke 6:27-28
But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
boldREFLECTIONS:
By blessing them as commanded by Jesus. "To bless" here is "to speak well of OR speak well to".
By doing good to them as taught in both covenants (Exo. 23:4-5; Mat. 5:44) which has the potential of transforming our enemies.
By praying for them as taught by Jesus and exemplified by Christ and His disciples.
