304.


Teaching about Love for Enemies

1.

Today's Passage: Matthew 5:43-48


Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).



2.
Thank You for meeting me, LORD.
I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you for insight.


43. "You have heard the law that says, 'Love your neighbor' and hate your enemy.
44. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!
45. In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.
46. If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much.
47. If you are kind only to your friends how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that.
48. But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Matthew 5:43-48 NLT

These instructions given to a group.
They are forcing the listeners to contemplate a different way of thinking. Holding themselves to a higher standard. A paradigm shift as such.

How do I handle challenges like this? I used to receive them more easily. The older I get, the more set in my ways I am.

Okay LORD... I’m entering a new decade, a new season, a new year. Help me open my mind to higher standards.
That’s scary LORD. BUT You tell me You go before me and You have already done what You will call me to do.
I thank you in advance for giving me all I need to accomplish all You have for me to do.
Continue supplanting me with faith beyond my own.
