A reflection on Matthew 5:44-45 about loving enemies not just in prayer but in how you speak about people behind their backs. The speaker challenges whether you gossip or act one way publicly and another privately, arguing that sincere love toward everyone gets rewarded by God.
Hello everyone, I hope you're having a great day today. So we've got our verse from Matthew 5, verses 44 and 45, and here the Gospel writer teaches us to be able to love and pray over our enemies. And so the key thing to take away from this is, is that it really goes beyond just praying for your enemies or loving them. What about a posture of your heart towards those that you gossip with? Do you go and meet someone and then 5 minutes later after leaving find someone else and talk all about them? You know, are you talking behind people's back? Are you being hypocritical? You know, you're, you're being two-faced. This is the point of what Matthew is trying to write, is, is that our approach to people has to be the same. We should be loving them, we should be taking care of them, and we should be honoring them. And in the end, the Father will reward us for our good deeds and our posture of our heart. God bless.
