“"But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,"”
Luke 6:27
Summary
In Luke 6, Jesus faces criticism from the Pharisees for allowing His disciples to pick grain on the Sabbath, which He defends by teaching about the true purpose of the Sabbath. Jesus continues to perform healings, including a man with a withered hand, emphasizing mercy over legalism. He then chooses twelve apostles, highlighting His authority and the preparation for their mission. The chapter also contains the Sermon on the Plain, where Jesus presents radical teachings on love for enemies, judging others, and the significance of building one's life on firm foundations. These teachings underscore the call to compassionate living and deep trust in God.
