Luke 6:28

"“But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,"

Key Reflection

This commandment challenges believers to extend compassion and goodwill even to those who are hostile or seek to harm them, modeling Christ's own sacrificial love on the cross and encouraging a transformative response that can lead to reconciliation and the expansion of God’s kingdom. By doing so, followers embody the radical nature of Jesus' teachings, which invite them to rise above petty grievances and emulate the divine in their interactions with others.
