What if Jesus Was Serious? | Love Your Enemies

Is it even possible to love your enemies? To pray for those who dislike, insult, or oppress you? When Jesus called his followers to be "perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect," he wasn't giving us an impossible standard to follow. He was announcing that the Kingdom of Heaven has arrived radically and unexpectedly. And this is the blueprint that He will use to fix the problems in our world.

So, if Jesus was serious in this teaching, then some things need to change. What if WE got serious about taking Jesus at his word and putting his Word into practice?  Imagine how different your life – and the world – would be if those who claimed to follow Jesus actually did.
