Summary: The twenty-fifth message from the Book of Luke which highlights our response to Jesus’ Gospel. Part 2 of 2. This message is often called “The Beatitudes” from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.

Scripture: Luke 6:27-38

The Call to Radical Love:

Why are we to love in this way?

** Because this is how God loved us

** Kindness demonstrated through the cross (Titus 3)

Application Questions:

** What would it look like for me today, to turn the other cheek in a way that honoured Jesus?

** Am I know as a person who treats others the way I want to be treated, even when they don’t deserve it?

** Would I want God to treat me the same way I treat others? Why or why not?

** If Jesus were to sit with me one-on-one in a room, would He say that my love is more conditional or unconditional? Why or why not?

** Do I tend to love and only show kindness to people who can benefit me in return? Why or why not?

** Where in my life, or at this moment, is Jesus calling me to love or give without expecting anything in return?

** Do I tend to judge others quickly? What’s behind this tendency?

** Is there someone I need to forgive right now?
