What Does it Mean to Love Our Enemies?

After Jesus talks about "turning the other cheek" and "going the extra mile" Jesus gives a teaching about loving our enemies. This sounds great in theory, but it can be much harder to practice in real life. 

 

We can also fall into the temptation of loving our "enemies" who are far away and impersonal, but fail to be kind or loving to the difficult people right in front of us. 

Today we'll talk about what Jesus means when he teaches us to "love our enemies" and how we can make that happen in our every day lives. 

 

Matthew 5:43-48
