#simplelife-7 HOW TO LOVE THE UNLOVABLE
MATTHEW 5:43-48
I. SOMETHING BRAND NEW—VS. 43-44 A. “Love your neighbors; Hate your enemies.”
1. This was the practice of the lost Jews, a nation lost in traditions that had become doctrine.
2. Mark 7:7 B. No one had ever taught this! Jesus himself stated
this is a new commandment! 1. John 13:34-35 2. “Sacrificial Love”
II. WHY?—VS. 45
A. We are to be a reflection of God’s Love. B. Philippians 2:12-16
III. GROW UP!—VS. 46-48
A. Jesus is saying: “Don’t act like everyone else. 1. Immature Spiritually—I Cor. 3:1-3 2. When a toddler does not get their way!
B. Our Desire—Vs. 48 1. Our hearts ought to break! 2. Jonah is a good example of what not to do! 3. 1 Peter 4:8-9
