Loving your enemies

I was preparing this week's sermon on Matthew 5.38-48 and reading Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s book Strength to Love which includes his sermon entitled "Loving Your Enemies".  I am certain he preached this sermon many times, so I turned to the internet for more information about the contexts of his preaching and I discovered an original audio of his sermon preached November 17, 1957 at the Dexter Ave. Baptist Church, Montgomery, AL.

His voice should be heard not mine.
