Theme: Love: A More Excellent Way
This week, our study on Love- A Most excellent way brings us to this tough command from our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. This is especially fitting considering the experiences of many among us, directly and or indirectly. Please see the outline attached for your perusal and advance preparation.
Key Learning points:
1. Jesus’ command to love our enemies is wide-ranging.
2. The command to love one’s enemy is not an easy one, so Christ directs it only to those who are willing to listen to Him. When we love our enemies, we reflect the character of God, for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. We also demonstrate our obedience to His commands.
3. We too are beneficiaries of God’s amazing love in that while we were yet sinners (and therefore enemies of God), Jesus Christ died for us. So, loving one’s enemy like Christ commands can only come out of a heart that is fully devoted to God and trusts Him 100%.
May we find encouragement and boldness to obey this key command of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
