It's easy to love your friends—not so easy to love your enemies. In today's passage, Jesus calls us to something that feels unnatural for us but is completely natural for our merciful and gracious God. And if we can learn to be merciful just as He is merciful, we will be sons and daughters who look like our heavenly Father, which is exactly what we were made to be.
