Love My what? Matthew 5:43-48 
INTRODUCTION Jesus continues his famous sermon on the mount. He is dealing with six different areas that focus on how we treat others. He started out with anger, then adultery and divorce, oaths and revenge, now He deals with hating our enemies. THE RIGHT FOCUS 1. Focus on your tradition 43 2. Focus on your enemy 44 3. Focus on your God 45 4. Focus on yourself 46-47 5. Focus on your goal 48 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 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; 5:45 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. 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so? 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. |
