"Jesus knows how different the ethic is that he commends from that which is widely acceptable: 'If you love those who love you, what credit…is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them' (Luke 6:32). That is the acceptable ethic. The implication is that anyone can love those who love them. Anyone can lend to someone from whom they expect repayment. That kind of love and lending is a transaction. You scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours.  A closer look at such transaction-based behavior reveals the problem: In such a world, what you do dictates what I do. When we return hate with hate, the original hate has won! It inspires and directs our actions. This is not to be. In the reign of God, what we do is not directed by what others do to us. In the reign of God, what we do is a response to the God who alone fills us, the God who 'is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked' (Luke 6:35)."  [Rev. Dr. Mary Hinkle Shore]
