If we genuinely believe that someone is hurting our country, which means hurting our families and friends, hurting others, hurting us, how can we genuinely love them? We love the person we marry. We love our children. We love our close friends. But loving our enemies? How can we do that?
For followers of Jesus, loving your enemies is not an option. Jesus commands us to do this very thing, saying, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven.” (Matthew)
