Some tough questions in front of us this morning - asked by our Lord Jesus Christ Himself:
* If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that.
* If you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that.
* If you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. (Luke 6:27-36)
Knowing that we are speechless, He also gives us the answers: (our immediate response within parenthesis)
* Love your enemies (mmm will try...)
* Do good to your enemies (now that is getting harder...)
* Lend to them without expecting to get anything back. (what?!)
The reward: We will be sons (daughters) of the Most High (wow! that's something! who wouldn't want that?!)
Take away: Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Can we at least try?
