“You have heard that it was said,
‘Love your neighbor and hate
your enemy.’
But I tell you, love your
enemies and pray for those who persecute you,”
Matthew 5:43-44
Go the red letters.
They will challenge you.
They will surprise you.
They will reprogram your soul.
That is necessary if you want to continue to grow your
spirit and bring your soul and body into submission to it.
When He spoke, Jesus words often amazed and shocked
people.
He said things that people were not expecting to hear.
Words like: “...love your enemies...”
Who would want to do that?
Why would they want to?
Yet Paul would later write:
“While we were yet sinners Christ died for us...”
Jesus spoke a hard word but He demonstrated how it
could be fulfilled.
Jesus gave us ‘Kingdom thoughts’ to ponder and not
worldly ones.
Consider them, meditate on them, live them out in
obedience.
