Turning Hate Into Love

How hard it is to follow the “Golden Rule”? In most of our everyday cases It is not that difficult We try to treat people as we would like to be treated We are mostly pleasant in our daily encounters But Jesus asks so much more of us Does Jesus really mean what He is saying here? Imagine if we all took this seriously How could this kind of behavior not produce a massive change in society? We know we are a long way from this. On the world stage We rarely turn the other cheek on those who hate us We regularly vilify them publicly On the personal level We often return hate with hate Measure from measure The great challenge of a faith based on love Mercy toward others to turn that hate into love We have no other options This is Jesus Golden Rule
