"For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?" (Mt 5:46). It is easy to love those who love you in return, but the love Jesus calls us to show is much deeper, difficult, and self-sacrificial. In this sermon we dive into the challenging call that Jesus gave to His followers to not only love those who love us but also to "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" (Mt 5:44).
