"LOVE YOUR ENEMIES..." (Matthew 5:44) Our world is filled with conflict and strife.
From wars around the world to riots and demonstrations in our nations streets, and even daily violent crimes and murders ...
The concepts of forgiveness, compassion and empathy have seemed to become archaic thoughts and words without much relativity today.
Many modern 'mottoes' echo words like "No Fear" ... "No Mercy" ... "Strike First" ... a far cry from the words of Jesus Christ to us.
Matthew 5:38-39
38 You have heard that it has been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say to you, That you resist not evil: but whoever shall smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Matthew 5:44
"But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which spitefully use you, and persecute you."
