Famous Quotes from Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr. quote #139 from A Knock at Midnight: Inspiration from the Great Sermons of Reverend Martin Luther King

Now there is a final reason I think that Jesus says Love your enemies. It is this that love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being friendly to that person. Just keep loving them and they cant stand it too long. Oh they react in many ways in the beginning. They react with guilt feelings and sometimes theyll hate you a little more at that transition period but just keep loving them. And by the power of your love they will break down under the load. Thats love you see. It is redemptive and this is why Jesus says love. Theres something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies. from Loving Your Enemies
