When we encounter Jesus, like them, we will never be the same.

In Matthew 5:38-48, Jesus doesn’t shy away from giving us the very challenging command to love our enemies. Now, maybe you are a man who rightly discerns that you don’t have any “enemies.” But for our purposes, we are going to define “enemies” as those people who have wronged us, and/or hurt us, and/or who are very difficult to love. Men, we need the love of Christ within us to really love all people the way He wants us to. This week, we will explore how. Written by Tim Bergmann.
