Matthew 5:38-48; Romans 12:17-21; 5:6-11; Luke 23:34 - Of all Jesus' countercultural teachings in the Sermon on the Mount, none is more radical than this. Jesus tells His followers that they should meet hostility with kindness, and love everyone: even their enemies. When we do this, we not only follow in the way of Jesus, we also make the world a better place.
