Commentary on Luke 6:35
Jesus commands: 'Love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.' This radical ethic of enemy love reflects God's character—He shows kindness to those who don't deserve or appreciate it. The phrase 'children of the Highest' (Greek 'huioi hypsistou,' υἱοὶ ὑψίστου) means bearing family resemblance—loving enemies proves we're God's children because we act like our Father. Grace-based love mirrors divine love that blesses the undeserving.
