Can You Love Your Enemies?

I just saw these over at The Plow.
My first reaction was “Wow, that is pretty extreme”. But then I thought about it. Jesus, who knew he was about to be crucified for his revolutionary beliefs, was telling this to a group of people who had lived under a great deal of persecution. What a revolutionary message back then, but perhaps even more so now. This means that we are to love Hitler, Osama, and everyone else who thrives on hatred. That is a tough pill to swallow, but if you are a Christian, it is something you are called to do.
Just imagine for a second if everyone actually did this. The world would be changed forever in an amazing way!
What are your thoughts?
