Just wondering about our Christian witness & loving our enemies....
We are called to love our neighbor/enemies but we believe Jesus does not ? That would be because of His spiritual insight, correct?
Just think of the verse where Jesus looked upon the rich young ruler and loved him
Also thinking of David Wilkerson & Nicky Cruz.... (Would it be wrong to express 'Jesus loves you' or 'I love you' to a non-believer? the way Wilkerson did to Cruz?)
How are we to display our love & ensure theological superiority does not overwhelm a neophyte ?
What is it to love our neighbor and not spare hard truths ?
How do we avoid a conditional or guarded goodwill offer(witness) of the gospel?
Thanks!
