What
if just 10% of us lived like this, what would our world look like?
Luke 6
27 "But
to you who are willing to listen, I say,
...love your enemies!
Do good to those who hate you.
28 Bless
those who curse you.
Pray for those who hurt you.
29 If someone
slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also.
If someone demands your coat, offer
your shirt also.
30 Give to
anyone who asks;
and when things are taken
away from you, don't try to get them back.
31 Do to
others as you would like them to do to you.
32 "If
you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that?
Even sinners love those
who love them!
33 And if you
do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get credit?
Even sinners do that much!
34 And if you
lend money only to those who can repay you, why should you get
credit?
Even sinners will lend to
other sinners for a full return.
35 "Love
your enemies!
Do good to them.
Lend to them without expecting to
be repaid.
Then your reward from heaven will
be very great,
and you will truly be acting
as children of the Most High,
for he is kind to those who
are unthankful and wicked.
36 You must
be compassionate,
just as your Father is
compassionate.
37 "Do not judge others, and you will not be judged.
37 "Do not judge others, and you will not be judged.
Do not condemn others, or it will
all come back against you.
Forgive others, and you will be
forgiven.
38 Give, and
you will receive.
Your gift will return to you in
full;
pressed down,
shaken together to make room
for more,
running over,
and poured into your lap.
The amount you give will determine
the amount you get back.”
