Nonresistance in the Old Testament

Was Jesus' command to love our enemies a new concept presented only in the New Testament? Did God want his people to love their enemies throughout history? In this episode, Stephen Russell traces the history of Nonresistance into the Old Testament and shows that, even before the New Testament, it was God's will for his people to love their enemies.
