"Love your enemies."
When followers of Jesus spend more time condemning their enemies than praying for them or showing love to them, they lose their spiritual credibility...
Jesus expects us to stand out from the world by letting our "light so shine before men, that they may see [our] good works and glorify [our] Father in heaven" ( Matthew 5:16 ). One way we live that out is by obeying His command to love our enemies (v.44).
The warmth of love can melt the heart of an enemy.
Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you.
Matthew 5:44
