Love Your Enemies

What Jesus Demands from the World: Session 3
This video is part three of a six-part series through John Piper’s What Jesus Demands from the World. In the book, Piper looks at the demands of Jesus as found in the four Gospels. It’s an accessible introduction for thoughtful inquirers and new believers, as well as a refreshing reminder for more mature believers of God’s plan for his Son’s glory and our good. Smallgroup.com has provided a PDF of the group study guide for each session.

    When your enemy can't get you angry like them, they're either softened or find it useless to oppose you. Either way you have conquered without sin.

I was just talking to my wife this morning about the situation and no less than five minutes later I find this video. I so love how when my heart and my head want to do one thing and say certain things and treat people certain way, but the Holy Spirit teaches me what is right, what is judged, what is pure.

Lord the world is straying away from you, they're taking Christ out of Christmas, and filling their New Years resolutions list with worldly things but all they really is You. All they need is Jesus, God. And I ask that you help us, your servants, show them that. Bless these people with the eyes to see Christ in the Christians of today, and the mind to realize how much they need him, and the will to turn their lives over to him, God, to turn their lives over to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

    Jonathan Chambers idiot. I dip my fore finger in the watery blood of your impotent mad redeemer and write over his thorn torn brow: the TRUE prince of evil - the king of slaves! I give love to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates! There is nothing wrong with showing vengence and he who turns the other cheek is a cowerdly dog! Man is just another animal sometimes better more often worse than those that walk on all fours, because of mans "divine spiritual and intellectual development" has become the most vicious animal of all! He that is slow to believe anything and everything is of great understanding for belief in one false principle is the beginning of all unwisdom. Are we not predatory animals by instinct? If humans ceased wholly from preying upon each other, could they continue to exist? Love your enemies and do good to those who hate you, is this not the despicable philosophy of the spaniel that rolls upon his back when kicked? Blessed are the strong for they shall posses the earth-cursed are the weak, they shall inherit the yoke! Blessed are the bold, for they shall be masters of the world-Cursed are the righteously humble, for they will be trodden under cloven hoofs! Blessed are the victorious, for victory is the basis of right-Cursed are the vanquished, for they shall be vessels forever. Blessed are those that believe in what is best for them, for never shall their minds be terrorized- Cursed are the "lambs of God" for they shall be bled whiter than snow! Blessed is the man who has a sprinkling of enemies, for they shall make him a hero-Cursed is he who does good to others who sneer upon him in return, for he shall be despised!

    So much of this teaching is needed. It is the foundation of Christianity. So said that it is not a common principle in the vast majority of Christians especially when God is SO clear on this principle through Jesus' life. A desire for truth can only lead to this one conclusion. And this is a hard conclusion to accept, it was for me 15 years ago and still is. I have a natural attitude for revenge and retaliation. I'm thankful God blessed me with His message through my parents.

    I rewinded John asking the third question like 5 times 😂 I don’t want to just do what’s right outwardly. I want a heart change. I want it just be my nature. I’m 24, and I’ve gave my life to Jesus when I was 22. There’s been ups and downs, but he’s been growing me and showing his goodness and glory to me in ways that are just mind blowing.... it’s gotten to the point where I can’t help help but notice my prideful nature, and I can’t stand it. I love him, and I really don’t like that there are things in my character (like how my flesh craves praise and honor, and recognition) that I know are unpleasing to him.... but he keeps showing me his goodness... And then I realize he knew all these ways in me were already there when I first gave myself to him, and he reached right into my mess, not caring how my dirt would get on his hands and pulled me out and started cleaning me up for a deeper relationship and communion with him... Anyway, he’s been ministering to me about it, so I know now it’s only a matter of time before I truly grasp ahold of letting that go. But man, I want to be able to show love to any and everybody without there being any perverse intentions. I want to lay myself down for others not because I know I should... but because it’s who I am. I want to be a pleasing aroma unto Jesus. A humble and acceptable sacrifice. Help me Lord.

    You must deny yourself to follow Jesus. It’s only naturally to hate your enemies, it is our nature. But to follow Christ, to taste the living water that never runs dry, you must be born again into his family, to allow him to melt your heart of stone and give you a new heart, to allow him to transform you and give you new purpose not looking at this flat and temporary material world but with your eyes on Heaven which is eternal and to know that God’s grace, mercy, patience, kindness, and love is vast enough and wide enough to cover and forgive all your inequities and sins of the past, present, and future. Denying yourself and living for God is the way of those who truly know the Jesus. Amen.

    An enemy can be someone who you’d consider to be your friend but inwardly they don’t have your best interests at heart. They may be your “friend” but get you to feel or do things which cause you to stumble from the Christian faith! I pray anyone reading this will be freed from such people!

    I have family members who I used to be close to who now appear to hate me and want nothing to do with me. Out of pure love I tell my grandmother to give them my love, to tell them that I'm still here for them when they need me. They may resent me for it, they may even curse my name, but I have faith that when the day is done the only thing left standing will be my genuine love for these lost and bothered individuals. If it were not for my Lord Yeshua, I may never have come into this mode of being in the first place and have found the love for my enemies within myself. Thank you, Yeshua, for this love you have born within me. Amen.

    That was the best explanation of those scriptures I have ever heard. I do these things mostly but its very hard and frustrating. Loving your enemies is hard but if you can put yourself in their shoes for a few minutes and try to understand them it will help you to love them and see their point of view. You never know what someone else has been thru.
