Description

Jesus' command to love your enemies has fallen into disfavor. Christians who align with progressive political ideals and Christians who identify with conservative political goals have come, in many cases, to hate their political opponents and consider that hatred righteous. After all, if we view our political opponents as responsible for the denigration and degradation of people's dignity, harming vulnerable people or people groups, or if they're to blame for the way we think society is crumbling, then opposing them with everything might just be righteous and faithful. This week, Dennis Allan walks through Jesus' command to "love your enemies," making the case that to love one's enemies is to will their good, or seek their flourishing, while refusing to hate them. We don't embody the Kingdom by embracing hate. So, how can Christians be people who demonstrate to our neighbors and our country that there's another way, a Kingdom way, that's possible.
