Out of today's Bible reading... "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?" (Matthew 5:43-47)
Jesus makes it clear here that we are to do something that for most of us is challenging! And that is to love our enemies. To love those people who we don't like. It is easy to love those who like us! But that is not his call in our lives!
