Sermon this week was an older priest. I like older priests. They don't need to care about Church politics anymore. Looking at the command to love your enemies, he said it is hard to love your neighbour when you know your neighbour wants to destroy your faith and kill you. Which is the situation now with mass immigration, even where I live.
The commands are hard, brutally hard. But when we have been forgiven much, at the cost of the blood of Christ, we should not be slow to forgive. The confusion is that forgiveness does not mean we will not protect and defend our faith, our families, our King, and our God.
There is no need to forgive an enemy while he lives and tries to harm you. Save your forgiveness for when he is no longer a living threat to you and yours.
