Jesus Practiced His Preaching

Clearly the most outstanding example of Jesus practicing what he preached and perhaps the most daunting one where our own behavior is concerned is this business of loving your enemies. Jesus died for us while we were still his enemies. And it is his very death that brings reconciliation--turns enmity into friendship. "For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more surely, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life." (Romans 5:10) May the Lord give us more of his life so that we will be enabled to love!
