Ever sat down to dinner with that conspiracy theorist you call "Uncle?" Nothing he says makes sense to you, and you have to bite your tongue multiple times. So much so that you can't even taste the food anymore. Maybe he does this thing where he talks about world issues and makes the people at fault out to be the victim? It can seem like he roots for the very things you are convinced need fixing in the world. You think to yourself, How am I even related to this guy?
Well, in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus was addressing all kinds of people. He had a way of speaking to the people who were being hurt and the people who were hurting others all at once. In this sermon, he says to everyone "love your enemies." Yeah, love your enemies . . . the people you can't stand, agree with, or even want to cause harm. Love is dynamic. It's not all smiles and hugs. Love calls to action, love speaks up, love wishes the best for others. Certainly, we can love our enemies in these dynamic ways.
It's easy to love those we agree with, but how can you love your enemies?

About this Plan
“Family” is a concept understood in every country, culture, and language, but we all have unique family structures, traditions, problems, and dysfunctions. It's not always easy to love our families, but the Bible is full of guidance on how to love each other well — we just have to be willing to apply that at home. In this 20-day devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we'll discover how to do that.
