Matthew 5:43-48 *43-45
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless
them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which
is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and
sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
The reason to pray for your enemies is so they can be
free from what is troubling and causing them to treat you wrong. The Love and Goodness of the Father through you
will draw them to repentance. They may experience
the GRACE and SALVATION OF JESUS CHRIST… Receiving and Feeling the Love of God
in their heart so to draw them into repentance and to participate in the
fullness of God’s Salvation... God's RAIN on the just and unjust.... SAVING
THEIR SOUL and Bringing them into GRACE.
Hallelujah! The SON Shining on
them to draw them unto Christ Jesus. This
is what LIFE is about.
Not so you can make them miserable (coals of fire
on their heads) or make yourself superior to them (pride, arrogance, religious zealots…).
Matthew 5:46-48
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward
have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye
more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Producing Righteousness in the land… producing
Peace. That is what this mind set will do. It will produce God's
Righteousness, through Jesus Christ, in the land and Righteousness will produce
Peace in our land. God is our avenger if any avenging is needed.
Plant the Seed of Righteousness in our enemies (in
those that oppose us).....
Amen.
