Luke 6:27-38
Jesus starts teaching his disciples about love, in particular, as regards your enemies and those who hate you. Love in the biblical world meant “remaining attached” or in relationship with others. Likewise, hate meant being detached, not being in relationship. What is the secret to this difficult teaching? We must remain attached to the Lord. If we do, we will not detach ourselves from anyone. Difficult, yes; impossible, “No,” through God’s grace. Our attachment to Him will be the source of our success, eternal life.
