Evening: Psalm 33; Luke 6:27-38
Everything Jesus stands for runs counter to the usual norms by which human beings govern their lives. Those norms include … hatred for enemies, revenge on abusers, and judgement of those who offend you. But Jesus overturns this whole tit-for-tat system of human vengeance … Instead, love your enemies; do unto others as you would have them do to you; forgive. Does this sound unreal or unrealistic? Consider this … that what is most unreal and unrealistic is to perpetuate the cycle of human violence. Instead, love those who treat you badly. Break the cycle. Overcome hatred with Love.
