What Jesus Said - The Sermon on the Mount
Seeing evil persons prosper galls everyone, but Jesus said misfortune and good things come to all - good and evil alike. Anyone can dislike another, even with just cause, but Jesus asks you to rise to a new level of respectfulness. Pray for all who mistreat you and ask God to bless them.
Matthew 5:43-47 (TLB) 43 “There is a saying, ‘Love your friends and hate your enemies.’ 44 But I say: Love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! 45 In that way you will be acting as true sons of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust too. 46 If you love only those who love you, what good is that? Even scoundrels do that much. 47 If you are friendly only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even the heathen do that.
