Love Your Enemies

If ye love those loving you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful love those loving them; and if ye do good to those doing good to you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful do the same
--Luke 6:32-33, YLT

Here is the test so consistently failed. We prefer to do what is easy, and call ourselves accomplished nonetheless.

"Well sure, he can do that," people will say, "because he's Jesus, he's God, ya know?"

Yet Jesus answered them, then and now, thus:

"Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?"

But we cannot be so qualified, can we? Or perhaps we would simply prefer not to be.
