S2E23: Peaceful Enemies

Hidden among the many amazing blessings that Christ promised to those who accept Him is the unhappy promise that the world will hate us for our faith. "Hate" is a rather strong word and may seem extreme in this case, but that's the word He chose. 

When the world treats us wrongly, it's not our place as Christians to act vengefully, while the Word is also clear that we don't tolerate evil. Where's the balance here? We must learn to live at peace with our enemies. This requires hating the evil in people's hearts while loving the people themselves, and to do that we must become peaceful enemies.
