Living graciously and generously

Matthew 5.38-48
  • Jesus affirms the Jewish Law but teaches his disciples to apply it in their dealings with everyone.
  • True love is unconditional and self-giving, seeking nothing in return.
  • The standard to which human love should aspire is nothing less than the perfection of God.

This week's resources explore: the risk of love in action; growing into God’s perfection; praying for those who persecute you.
