Love Your Enemies (Matthew 5:38-48)

Main Point: Love your enemies because of whose you are.

Introduction

1. The Difficulty of Jesus Teachings – Non-Resistance

•  Forego your honour (v 39)
• Give up your rights (v 40)
• It is okay to be taken advantage of (v 41)
• Give for the interest of others (v 42)

2. Love your enemies

•  An oxymoron thing to do
• We love because of who we are and our Father’s character.

Reflection: Who is God challenging me to love together? What does it mean to love as a child of God?
