• Love Your Enemies (Matthew 5:43-48)

    From sinner@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 27 00:02:57 2022
    As many of the Russian soldiers are just conscripts deceived with thinking
    they are going to a military exercise and then sacrificed for a policy
    they may not support wholeheartedly, I felt deeply moved by the fact
    that their bodies are left for dogs to devour.

    Our Saviour teaches us to be merciful towards our enemies, in order
    to win favor of Higher Powers in Heaven.

    Matthew 5:43-48
    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.
    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.

    in the Lord
    Amen
