“Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy: but I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you;”
S. Matthew 5:43-44 RV1895 https://bible.com/bible/1922/mat.5.43-44.RV1895
Today’s verse comes right from the mouth of Christ and it is powerful and challenging. The golden rule is beautiful and poetic Justice, but this raises the bar quite a bit.
Sometimes Christians forget the point of being a follower if Christ and what it means. Many only apply it when they go to church. But it’s so much more.
In fact, as followers of Jesus, we should strive to live like Him. In order to do that, we have to see others as he did. He had a very high standard and we should try to keep our standards high.
When you pray, remember to include those you dislike. Let’s live as Christ did.
