“But I say to you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you” (Luke 6:27).<\/p>\n

This verse comes from the Gospel of Luke<\/a>, one of the three synoptic gospels of the New Testament.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who was Luke, exactly?<\/p>\n

Also known as Luke the Evangelist, Luke is widely regarded as the author of both the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts, according to Christian website Overviewbible.com.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Luke wrote more of the New Testament<\/a> than anyone else \u2014 even the apostle Paul, that site notes.<\/p>\n

“Luke wasn\u2019t an eyewitness to Jesus\u2019 ministry, but he lived during the first century, and according to his own writings, he \u2018carefully investigated everything from the beginning\u2019” (Luke 11:4), the site also says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While traveling alongside the apostle Paul, “he also likely had direct access to the apostles and other accounts of Jesus\u2019 life and ministry,” the site also indicates.<\/p>\n

The verse from the Gospel of Luke<\/a> is both “convicting and confrontational,” according to one Texas faith leader.<\/p>\n

“Here we see Jesus in the midst of his ministry,” Brandon Jenkins, pastor of Oasis Church in Rowlett, Texas<\/a>, told Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jesus was not a universally beloved figure during his lifetime, Jenkins said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He is despised by the religious leaders of his day,” he said.<\/p>\n

He noted that Jesus became “more despised” because he preached a message of love<\/a> “in response to Roman oppression.”<\/p>\n

During the life of Jesus, many people turned away from his message because he called on them to “love their enemies,” Jenkins continued.<\/p>\n

This lesson is one that should resonate for believers in the modern era, even if it is challenging, he said.<\/p>\n

“For Christians in America today, we cannot afford to overlook the example of Jesus calling us to love in the most unconventional way,” he added.<\/p>\n

“We as the church must embrace this example of love from the one we claim to be following,” he also said.<\/p>\n

A person’s faith and convictions cannot be limited to the inside of a church building, either, Jenkins added.<\/p>\n

“We must understand that our witness and testimony are not separate from our social media posts, private conversations with friends<\/a> or how we treat people,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added, “It’s time for us as Christians to act like Christians.”<\/p>\n

“A significant part of that reality is loving our enemies \u2014 not hating, slandering and ridiculing those who disagree with our beliefs,”<\/a> he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
