Beloved that's a question for us to face, those of us that are Christians. What makes us different in the world? Are we different on the job because our ethics are different, our conversation is different, our attitude is different, our love is different? Are we different in our homes, are we different in our communities? Because if we're not different, we have nothing to say to this society that they're going to believe.
Oswald Sanders said, "The Master expects from His disciples such conduct as can be explained only in terms of the supernatural." And if your conduct can only be explained in terms of the supernatural,then you've got something to say to the society, they're going to take note. But if you're like everybody else, what is the difference? What do you have that they don't have? If we're to speak to this age and call this godless age to Jesus Christ and let them know that there's something real about Christ, it'll be when our lives are unique have no other explanation than that God is there.(John MacArthur, "Love Your Enemies")
Jesus calls us to love our enemies....take home the following:
1. Think of someone you really don't like and begin today to pray for them.
2. Make an effort this week to speak to someone you normally would not speak to.
3. Perform at least one act of kindness this week for someone who does not deserve it.
