Compassion for Enemies: What Does Jesus Mean?

We’ll conclude our sermon series “Called to Compassion.” Pastor Teresa preaches a homily on the challenging scripture passage from Luke 6:27-38 where Jesus calls us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us.

What if we make the inward journey our starting point? What if we recognize that our engagement in politics should be rooted in our participation in the Trinitarian flow of God’s love?  Then everything changes. We are no longer guided or constrained by what we think is politically possible, but are compelled by what we know is most real.
