Transforming
Jesus said,
"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” Luke 6:27,28.
This verse of scripture is to my way of thinking emphatic. We are to love our enemies. That to me means loving those we disagree with. Irrespective of who they are, their lifestyle, race religion or for that matter their political views.
That also means we have no right to judge those around us. Jesus made that clear when He said,
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven." Luke 6:37.
Our job as Christians and the apostle is to win souls for Christ and we can only do that by loving them.
The great American civil rights leader Martin Luther King jr. wisely said,
Love is
the only force capable of transforming an enemy
into friend.
