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.

God’s original plan for man was to exhibit the likeness of Jesus. Genesis 1:28 says, “Be fruitful and multiply,” but this means more than bearing children; it’s layered within purpose too.

Our identity is defined by personal attributes such as character, gender and colour of skin, but also by the groups that we belong to. You may ask yourself: how do I view myself? How do others see me? The most important question however is: How does God see me? Who am I in Christ?

The Christian life involves more than just personal spirituality; the Lord wants us to be active in His work in both the church and the world.
