We are called to love everyone – even those who hate us, because Jesus’ love is for everyone – even us.

I think these verses in Luke 6 are really important in helping us love our enemies and are we doing more than nodding our head in agreement and nothing more. They show where our heart is, show us the source(Jesus) which can only allow us to truly love our enemies and a warning if we continue to bury ourselves in the foundations of this world.
46 “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord, and don’t do what I tell you?
47 “Everyone who comes to me and listens to my words and puts them into practice—I will show you what he is like: 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep, and laid the foundation on bedrock. When a flood came, the river burst against that house but could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49 But the person who hears and does not put my words into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the river burst against that house, it collapsed immediately, and was utterly destroyed!”
The track ‘Neighbour’ is based on the verse Mark 12:30-31 “…to love your neighbour as yourself”.
This song encourages and challenges people to love people the way that Jesus taught us too
