Learning to Love the Enemy [Stanley Hauerwas]

Jesus' teaching in Matthew 18 is central for Christians coming to love the enemy. Particularly important is that we never forget that God is the enemy we most fear. To be confronted and to confront those that we have wronged and have wronged us one of the central practices for Christians to practice neighbor love.

My love for my enemies is greater than any gods. I would not bury them under the earth, waiting for a trial already decided, within earshot of the beings I claim to love and protect. Were I omnipotent I would expect greater morality of myself and not less.
