But I Say To You - Week Seven/July 6, 2025/Glenn Barteau

Throughout this series, we’ve been learning from the Sermon on the Mount and how Jesus took Old Testament teachings and further revealed the heart of God. One of the most impactful moments is in Matthew 5:43 when Jesus teaches that it’s not about “identifying our enemies,” but ensuring we don’t become enemies ourselves. It isn’t about drawing lines between who deserves love and who doesn’t, but erasing those lines completely. By loving our enemies, we not only prevent ourselves from becoming what we hate but potentially transform both ourselves and our relationships.
