In the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes, Jesus teaches about love for one’s enemies. Here we can see what the Master commands us to do with those who mistreat the children of God.
Jesus says in Matthew 5:44: “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”.
We must understand that Jesus’ purpose was for the disciples and those who listened to this sermon to learn this teaching.
The question is: should we do what Jesus tells us in this chapter?
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;
Matthew 5:44
It is important that we act correctly before the Lord and follow what He tells us in this verse. We must do good to those who hate us, and thus we will be pleasing to God if we fulfill this command.
Let us love our enemies and do good to those who curse us, because we must remember that God sees our fulfillment, and even if we are killed for His sake, we will have eternal life.
Brothers in Christ Jesus, we must obey the Lord and love our enemies, no matter how many they are or how much they hate us. God will be with us, He will help us, and they will be called to account to be judged for their works.
