Today our sermon topic is about loving your enemies. Perhaps more than anything else, this is one of the characteristics of Christians that is the most striking witness to the rest of the world. There are other elements of the Christian faith that are echoed in other religions – for example belief in an afterlife (Islam), encouragment in performing good deeds to earn merit (Buddhism, Sikhism). Loving your enemies is the standout principle that is a bridge too far for most other faiths baulk at. Easy to talk about, hard to do. This is part of Jesus' discourse we know as the sermon on the Mount - the Youtube clip is a reenactment of this.
