Motivation to Love

Jesus continues on in His great teaching on love. In this passage we see the greatness, the gain, and the goal of kingdom love. Christ teaches on the nature of all true Christian love, which are tangible acts, characterized by grace. In order for true grace to be shown, it requires the Christian willingly put themselves into a position to be wronged, but so that they might display true grace. It is a radical passage. It is easy to understand, but difficult to practice. Yet, the hope of the passage is that Jesus reveals all true sons and daughters of the kingdom desire to do this. For it is through visible acts of gracious love that the Gospel becomes believable to a dying world.
