Commentary:
Jesus wants us to love our enemies, do good even to those who do us harm, share our goods not expecting anything in return, not to judge or to condemn others and to forgive and be peacemakers. Jesus promises that what we offer others God will see and will reward us many times more. By love, Jesus is talking about how God loves each one of us.
