Another long passage that took me close to 30 minutes to read.
I am uncomfortable with Luke 6:24-26; it’s not that I don’t believe these words to be true, I’m not sure how to apply them in my life. I know that Jesus wasn’t telling his followers to go out and make their lives miserable, but rather that the natural outflow of a life committed to following his words would result in discomfort and abuse. When we stand for what is holy in the midst of an unholy culture people will insult and accuse us of intolerance. This part of the Gospel is unpleasant; but only in this life.
