In a culture where “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” is pretty normative, the words of Jesus to “love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” are pretty radical.
Lord Jesus, we ask for your disciples in Libya to walk in such radical love that those around them would marvel and wonder at the difference they see in their lives. We pray for your Spirit to empower them to love those who hate them and forgive those who treat them wrongly.
