What does it mean to love your enemies? Matthew 5:43-48 (KJV): "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you."
Sermon on the Mount Part 10 with Matt Hepner and TopLobsta: insults and the other cheek, the two swords of Luke 22, the extra mile, and love as a life force.
Picking up Matthew 5:38-42 from Part 9, Matt says the other cheek is about insults, not danger: don't meet force with force, and ask what the other person is going through. He reads Luke 22:35-38 (the two swords), points to Romans 13 on why order beats anarchy, and reads Acts 13:6-12, where Paul strikes Elymas blind for perverting the ways of the Lord, not for an insult. Going the extra mile leads to Rebekah at the well (Genesis 24). Then Matthew 5:43-48: love your enemies and be perfect (complete), with Acts 14, Romans 12:9-21 (heap coals of fire on his head), John 13:34-35 and 1 Corinthians 13, love as a life force. It ends with Elisha feeding the Syrian army (2 Kings 6:8-23, "Fear not") and G. Campbell Morgan on Matthew 5.
