The Love that Jesus Displays and Demands
(Luke 6:27-31)
We’ve considered Jesus’ teaching on ‘Kingdom Living’ (6:20–23), contrasted with the world’s ‘Empire Mentality’ (6:24–26). Today, Jesus takes us deeper — showing us how Kingdom values are not just ideals but realities meant to shape our daily relationships. In this section, Jesus commands us to love in ways that defy instinct, respond with mercy rather than retaliation, and treat others as we would long to be treated.
