Welcome to Episode #162 of Way of the Bible podcast. This is our second of eight episodes in our Twenty-First mini-series entitled, Sermon on the Mount Part 2. On today's episode we'll be hearing Jesus teach the second of two very difficult principles he reveals for Kingdom of Heaven living at the end of Matthew 5.The first difficulty was the prohibition against retaliating against the actions of an evil person. If struck on the cheek you were to turn the other, if you get sued and lose your tunic you are to give him your cloak as well, if asked to go one mile – go two miles, give to those who beg and finally do not refuse one who would borrow from you. These are in the moment actions in response to be confronted face to face. These are not meant for enslavement or sadistic behavior with an evil person. You will see confirmation of this notation when Jesus sent out his twelve Apostles to the lost sheep of Israel and instructed them in Matthew 10:14 and 23 – 14 And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. 23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. He did not command his Apostles to remain in the towns so as to be persecuted, but to leave and go to another place. What to do about persecution is in our passage for today. More on that in a moment.To be brief, in the case of an “in your face trial of the moment,” we are to, as did Jesus, submit ourselves to the mercy and grace of God, manifest God's name to our oppressor, and pray for rescue from the trial or the grace to endure. Now to today's passage. I've entitled this episode, Love Your Enemies and Pray for Persecutors. You may, even now, think that seems strange to hear. But let's give it a few minutes and I think what Jesus is saying will begin to sink in.Matthew 5:43-48 – “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
From the safety of your own quiet time or small group Bible study, affirming Jesus' command to "love your enemies" is obviously the correct choice. Right? But what would you do if you actually had the chance to make a real-life enemy pay for the ways they'd wronged you?Our guest this week, Brent Campbell, was faced with this exact decision. One day, during a summer workout for track, Brent was harassed by a group of fellow university students. After quietly absorbing the barrage of racist insults and death threats, Brent was left to decide... "How should I respond?" His decision might surprise you.NOTE: Please be aware that this and the following episodes are marked "explicit".

This episode we go over the message: A wise man once said - Hate has 4 letters but so does Love - Enemies has 7 letters but so does Friends - Lying has 5 letters but so does Truth - Cry has 3 letters but so does Joy - Negativity has 10 letters but so does but do does Positivity. Life is a two sided coin, choose the better side of it. https://linktr.ee/imnathanaelreyes Follow @imnathanaelreyes Shop Mad Rabbit Products (CODE: REYESREFLECTION For 20% OFF) https://www.madrabbit.com/collections/all-products Shop Jocko Fuel (CODE: REYESREFLECTION For 10% OFF) https://store.jockofuel.com Shop Arave Cards https://www.ebay.com/str/aravecards https://m.facebook.com/people/Arave-Cards/100090481594642/

Following Jesus Into His Sermon On The Mount | Week 9 | In this sermon, Darrell visits the challenging and seemingly backwards teaching from Jesus on enemy love in Matthew 5:43-48. Darrell shows how “loving your enemies” is the only way to prevent the hatred you feel towards another from destroying you and destroying them. That it's one of the ways God's people safeguard their souls, and participate in the mission of Christ who was found using his dying breaths to pray for those who persecuted him.

In our series, Summer on the Mount, you're invited to discover the challenging and life-giving teachings of Jesus. We'll see that followers of Jesus are called to create an expression of community that contrasts with many of the core values of cultures throughout history. The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus' manifesto for what it means to live in the kingdom of God, here and now. This isn't a mere list of dos and don'ts, but an invitation to allow God's grace and love to shape us inwardly so that outwardly we put God's way of life into action. Come prepared to be encouraged and challenged by the radical teachings of Jesus as we spend a Summer on the Mount together.
In this sermon, Joshua Bowditch preaches Luke 6:27-36, and Jesus call to love our enemies—not simply to avoid hating, but to seek their good, to serve them, and to long to see them prosper. Joshua dives into how this can be and how we can even try. Ultimately, we see that Jesus loved us, his enemies, through the gospel and empowers us to do the same.

In Season 2 of Bridgerton, Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma are star crossed lovers, but rather than being thwarted by external forces, it's their internal hostility to one another that gets in the way of their obvious desire.
The Scribes and Pharisees taught that while you should love your neighbors you should hate your enemies. Where did they get that from, and what did the Law of God actually command? How did Jesus respond? Listen as Pastor Caleb preaches from Jesus' response and His call for His disciples to love and pray for their enemies. God's common grace upon all men is set as the example that His children should follow. In light of the six teachings of the Jewish religious leaders, we are called to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect. See how this charge is the natural conclusion to this section of Jesus' teaching.
"Love your enemies! Do good to them ... you will truly be acting as children of the Most High."Luke 6:35

The Jewish and Christian faiths exist because of the events that happened in a particular place and time. To understand biblical texts—including issues of justice and loving strangers and enemies—we should learn something about the places where the events they describe occurred. Danielle Parish, pastor of Spark Church in Palo Alto, CA, who leads study tours in Israel, discusses the importance of the biblical land and how enjoying creation as "guardians of the Garden" can deepen our knowledge of Scripture.

Pastor Andrew Peterson preaches from Matthew 5:43-44 on how disciples walk with Jesus.
God's people will love their enemies. Our love as Christians should stand out and be different from the word's love. It's easy to love those who love us, but in order to love the ones that hate us, we must first be loved by God.
