저희의 첫 집바부왜인들 부쿠가정입니다. 이들도 남아공에서 외국인들로 살아가고 있습니다. 쉽지 않은 상황에서도 얼굴에 웃음을 잊지않고 살아가고 있습니다. 부쿠가정이 이들에게 위로가 되기를 기도합니다.
“But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.” Luke 6:35
Love your enemies.
It is very hard to practice. It is hard, because we have a wrong idea of what love is.
He is not asking us to love our enemies as we love our families.
He is asking us to love them as Jesus loves them. Jesus has same compassion even for our enemies.
The passage is not about our enemies, but obeying Jesus’s command, ‘Love each other as I have loved you.’
I know it is a hard idea, but let’s try to love those we have a hard time with as Jesus loves us.
