Love Your Enemies - Highlife 2-27-19
This week, in Highlife, Steve talks about how being “on mission” requires us to love one another. And how we are directed to take that love to those in the world. It is easy to love the lovable people. It is much harder to love those who are unlovable and / or those who just flat out don’t like us. Jesus set a standard that was unlike any the world had heard of when he proclaimed that we should love our enemies. He then proceeded to explain how loving those who love you and treating people nicely who treat you nicely is something that even sinners do. How does that set us (Christians) apart from the rest of the world? Jesus has really called us to be separate and to live in a way that makes others take pause. Do we do that? Or do we take the easy way out and do what comes naturally?
Consider these questions while listening to this podcast:
1) As you go “on mission” do you think living the concept of love as explained in today’s Bible passage would make you more or less likely to win others to Christ?
2) Do you believe that genuine love would make our message stand out from all the other messages people are “selling” today?
3) Is the problem of attracting non-believers to Jesus as simple as loving them where they are at?
