My original section titles for this video were the hard call to love, the even harder call to love and the near impossible call to love! The point - loving our enemies is HARD! Was Paul serious? Was Jesus serious?

If points help you follow along here's where we go in this video:

1. Three Prohibitions, things we are not to do
- Do not curse your enemies
- Do not take justice into your own hands
- Do not seek revenge

2. Three Commands, things we are to do
- Bless your enemies
- Meet their needs
- Live honourably and at peace

3. Three Reasons Why Should I Love my Enemies
- Jesus did this for us, now we represent him
- So that we're not conquered by evil
- So that our enemies might repent

ROMANS 12:14-15, 17-21

"14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Give careful thought to do what is honourable in everyone’s eyes.
18 If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
19 Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for God’s wrath, because it is written,
Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.
20 But If your enemy is hungry, feed him.
If he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
For in so doing you will be heaping fiery coals on his head.
21 Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good."
