Even when they hate you.....

Mat 5:44 "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

The true outworking of our Love for each other. Loving those who hate you. Blessing those who curse me.  A divine outworking of Love. And this is what Jesus has called everyone under his name to.

Jesus called us to this because it is what he has already done. He Loved those who persecuted him. Jesus walked out peace and joy towards those who were vile at showed hatred to  him. Even unto to the point of death he Loved those who hated him. Dying a shameful death on a cross working out Love for the ones who did not love him.

The greatest expression of Love is to Love those who do not love us . This is a call to Love even when it does not benefit us. To show love towards someone who does not give anything back. He has called us unto to this because it is exactly what Father express' towards us. G-d Loves us even when we do not Love him.
