Text for the Day -- Luke 6:27-31
----------
"But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those
who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse
you. If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and
from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt.
Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your
goods, do not ask for them again. Do to others as you would have them
do to you."
Devotional
----------
This passage contains many reversals of what had been considered
justifiable human behavior. Jesus takes his admonition to love to the
extreme. We hear talk of "extreme" sports. This is "extreme"
Christianity. Are you ready to take love to another level? Pray for
the gift of God's agape love if you are.
Prayer
-------------
Fill me with tough and powerful love, O Lord. Amen
