Addressing the “hard sayings:”
When we obey the gospel, insisting on loving our enemies, even to the point of “doing good to them,” we can finally find peace. Who is my enemy? Those close to us: a neighbor who is a miserable, hurtful, yet powerful person, or my sister, who is angry at the rest of us because we took care of her as a baby (’cause mom was mentally ill, but she simply can’t accept that). Enemies are also those we’ve never seen, a terrorist, a skinhead, a tyranical president in Sudan, a jerk in another car.
But, in obedience, we grow. We learn our place in the Eternal scheme of things. So, I take soup and taco salad to my neighbor, I stand in front of the White House with a sign saying Love your Enemy, and I pray for my own need to love without reservation, as Christ loves me.
And I pray.
The definition of a FREIND is someone you love. IF JESUS is your freind you truly have no enemies, please give that some thought and have a blessed day.
We as his disciples should go and tell others about God! He wants us to tell others, be a disciple of the Lord, baptising them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! If you read John 3:16, it is a great bible verse to remember, and use in what we say and do through our actions. People really do notice, and may even say wow, you really are so nice,and happy,Y? and u can tell them you are that way, because u have God in you,shineing in your heart, and mind. And will have eternal life wen you be with Him in Heaven!
“Everyone PERFECT” is a ‘hard saying’, because literally no-one is perfect! But read it again. he writer says “Perfect IN CHRIST” We are accepted, forgiven, sanctified only in Him! The way is now open to God, through Jesus our Lord. May God bless you today with deeper understanding of His grace.
