Near the end of the sermon on the mount, Jesus makes this statement and I can only imagine the shock that it sent through the crowd.

In Genesis 1, our story opens up with our creator going through movements and rhythms of work. Making the days, nights, oceans, galaxies, filling the former void with the textures of mountains and animals of sky and land to move about. He creates all of this and with each movement, he steps back to say, "this is good."
Ernest Smith, Local Church, Ministry
Everyone has a bucket list. You know, a list of items you want to do or accomplish before you “kick the bucket”. Whether you have written these things down or have just said to a friend “I would like to do ____ before I die”, all of us have a bucket list.
Andrew Nemeth, Discipleship, Sermon on the Mount

David Purvis, Sermon on the Mount, Discipleship
Then He goes on to say that loving those that love you is without reward. The reward comes when we love those that do not love us.
