Obey Enemy Love (9 of 35)
Series: Obey Everything
Steve Jones
Matthew 5:43-48
SERMON SUMMARY: This sermon addresses Jesus' command to love your enemies. Our approach is to ask three questions: 1) WHO is our enemy? 2) WHAT is love? 3) WHERE does the power to love come from?
INTRO: From the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office (7.28.20)
''We are deeply appreciative to these 3 inmates for the courage, determination and kindness they displayed when they came to the rescue of our deputy who recently suffered a medical emergency while supervising a jail housing unit. The inmates noticed our deputy appeared to be feeling poorly as he conducted his security procedures in the housing unit. Although they were locked in their cells, they kept an eye on him as he returned to his seat at the deputy desk, where he lost consciousness and fell onto the concrete floor, splitting his head open. The inmates whose rooms were close enough to see what was happening began pounding on their doors. Soon the entire unit was thundering with noise as many inmates pounded on the doors shouting for our deputy who lay unconscious and heavily bleeding on the floor. Our deputy later stated that while he did not realize he'd been unconscious, he became aware of what sounded like pounding drums and could hear inmates shouting his name over and over. He immediately thought an inmate needed help and somehow managed to rise to his feet and press the control panel to open cell doors.
Three inmates rushed out of their rooms to render aid to our deputy, who lost consciousness once again. The inmates sought help with the use of the deputy's desk phone and his radio. Their efforts were successful, and help arrived almost immediately. We're happy to report that our deputy survived the harrowing incident and is recovering at home until he can return to duty.''
Mt.5:43-48
