Instrument of Love | Pastor Stephanie

What this episode covers

Welcome to Mount Olivet, a community of hope, reconciliation and love. The message of today's scripture challenges us to do good, to give without expecting anything in return, and to love our enemies. The first two are hard enough, but the third? What could Jesus have meant by love enemies. Certainly not tolerate abuse or ignore wrongdoing. As we ponder the question, let us reflect on the words of 13th-century friar, St Francis of Assisi: "Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love...for it is in giving that we receive."

Jesus also references the commandments in his sermon on the mount saying, “...whoever does them [the commandments] will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:19) Looking forward to exploring these with you!
