We continue our journey into the sermon on the Mount, holding the beatitudes as our map and key, exploring how Jesus explicated the intention of the law and the prophets. That intention is the creation of a community which mirrors the love of God, in which all flourish, that gathers around all, where the common good is held as paramount, all are treated with honour and respect, and all are given what they need to thrive. When we act out of this we are perfect – whole, complete, devoted to the way of God and the other.
So how does that apply to people we dislike or who wronged us, or who we might describe as our enemy. And how do we act in the face of such people in a way that honours ALL that God invites us to.
