Love others like Jesus loves us? This seems like Mission Impossible . How can we "mere mortals" – we helpless, wretched sinners EVER comply with Jesus’ commandment to love others as he loves us? Our love is conditional – we only love people who love us back or people who we think can provide something to us that we need, and when they don’t love us back or give us what we need we tend to withhold our love from them. What about loving our enemies? Who among us loves our enemies as Jesus commanded us? It seems impossible. Our love is just so far from being divine. Instead of divine, our love is indeed very human and entangled with all of our human weaknesses like pride, fear, jealousy, envy, etc.
