Keep Calm: Loving Our Enemies - The Heart of Jesus' Message
Description
In this episode, Ken speaks on Luke 6:27-38, which he believes is at the heart of the message of Jesus and what life in the Kingdom is like - and perhaps the most challenging section of Scripture.
In this passage, Ken states, "Jesus invites us to love our enemies...and it's not so our enemies will change! " Christ expands on this by urging us to:
- Keep doing good to those who hate us
- Keep praying for those who mistreat us
- Speak blessings rather than curses on them
- Be kind even when it is not returned
- Be compassionate
- Not to bad-mouth people if we don't want to be bad-mouthed; to be forgiving if we want to be forgiven; not judge if we don't want to be judged; and to give, and it will be given to us.
And, Ken says, all of this is impossible without growing in our emotional maturity - and lots and lots of practice. Listen now for more on how we can show up in life in increasingly loving ways - even with our enemies.
