If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. Luke 6:32
Jesus brought a life-changing gospel to this earth. He fully expected the gospel to make such a profound change in our lives that no one could point to human effort to account for the difference.
If you set good goals, work hard, and remain disciplined you will achieve what the pagans achieve. You will live an admirable life.
But Jesus isn’t about creating admirable lives. He is about creating supernatural lives.
What gives the gospel its power? The gospel is powerful because it plugs Jesus into our lives. Wherever Jesus is connected to life where we live it, the supernatural takes place.
This verse talks about cranky people. Do you have people in your life who are impossible to love? Stop trying to love them. You can’t. Instead bring your anger to Jesus and let Him do what He longs to do in you: the supernatural.

PS. For our Inner Wealth subscribers, starting this Saturday we’ll be looking at the much misunderstood Biblical concept of repentance. For years, I had no idea what repenting actually meant. I thought it meant changing our behavior, something we all try to do and often fail at doing. Wrong! Changed behavior is the outcome of a supernatural process called repentance. I’ll share how this works in the real world.
