Jesus’ teaching on discipleship Excerpt Disciples’ love, like the heavenly Father’s, must be “perfect” ( v. 48 ), that is, all-inclusive (cf. neb ). As God’s common grace is showered upon both the evil and the good ( v. 45 ), so disciples’ love is to extend not just to those who love them ( v. 46 ), nor just to fellow Christians ( v. 47 ), but to enemies and nonbelievers as well (cf. Matt. 22:39 ; Luke 6:36 ). More Elwell, Walter A. Evangelical Commentary on the Bible . Vol. 3. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House, 1995. Print. Baker Reference Library.
