Furthermore, these two verses say there are two kinds of enemies. Jesus answers who is your enemy and who is my enemy in two verses. The way it is written in Matthew implies that every person on the planet has at least one enemy, or even enemies.
Who is your enemy, or enemies? Can you think of someone who is an enemy in your life today? I suppose it is possible that you say to me you don’t have enemies, but not likely. I have a much harder time loving my enemies. But I have a much harder time loving those who are unlovable. God knows I have no problem loving those who are lovable. He said we must love our enemies, because he knows those are the ones in our lives we have a hard time loving. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Matthew 5:43–48 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For me, I don’t know if I can definitively say I have one verse that is the most difficult to obey and do, but Matthew 5:44 has to be one that is way up there. You will say to me there are so many of them in the Bible, and I will agree with you.
Have you thought which verse in the Bible is the most difficult to you? I don’t mean to say which verse is the most difficult to understand, but which verse is the most difficult for you to obey and do.
