The Christ-transformed life is a life of love but not just a love of those who love us. Paul calls us to a dramatic departure from the ways of this world. He calls us to love those who intentionally and maliciously hurt us. And the love he calls us to is a love that is expressed in positive action--"Bless those who persecute you." We are called to actively seek the well-being of those who hurt us. But of course, as followers of a crucified Lord who died to bless and save those who crucified him, we have a high example to follow. Let's love the way Jesus loves. Produced on May 15, 2020
