[center]THE AURA AND POWER OF LOVE IS SUCH THAT ONLY THE POWERFUL CAN DARE IT. IT IS NOT CORRECT TO THINK THAT OBEDIENCE TO THE GOSPEL PF LOVE IMPLIES WEAKNESS. ONLY HEROES LOVE THEIR ENEMIES, ONLY HEROES PRAY FOR THOSE WHO TREAT THEM BADLY, ETC. THE GOSPEL OF LOVE IS TOO DELICATE, RISKY THAT ONLY THE STRONG CAN LISTEN TO IT, ACCEPT AND LIVE IT. THE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS ARE CHALLENGED TO BE DETERMINED ABOUT THEIR ENEMY'S WELFARE, TO REFUSE TO PAY BACK VIOLENCE WITH VIOLENCE. THIS IS BECAUSE HATRED CAN BE DEFEATED WITH ONLY BY LOVE; INJURY CAN BE DEFEATED ONLY BY LOVE; INJURY CAN BE HEALED ONLY BY FORGIVENESS. THIS OF COURSE, MAY NOT REFLECT CONVENTIONAL WISDOM, BUIT IT IS JESUS' WISDOM IN ACTION. HOWEVER, THE GOLDEN RULE SHOULD ALWAYS BE OUR GUIDE: "DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT YOU WANT OTHERS TO DO UNTO YOU"[/center] |
