Memorize The Sermon On The Mount – Weeks 20 And 21

This week I am posting two passages from the Sermon on the Mount. I didn’t get last week’s passage on here, and am posting it with today’s passage.

Last week’s passage is from Matthew 5:43-45.

Matthew 5:43-45

This is the classic “Love your enemies” passage that we’ve heard all of our lives.

It’s closely tied to this weeks passage: Matthew 5:46-48. Here, Jesus continues the thought, and tells us that if we only love those we like, or who love us, we are no better than the pagans or tax collectors.

Matthew 5:46-48

Jesus encourages us to live life, striving for perfection, just as God is perfect.

Simple statements. Simple truths. Difficult to accomplish. Difficult to live. Profound, yet all to easy to overlook in our lives.

How do you love others when they don’t show love to you? Let me know in the comments.

  1. Loving others without being loved back is tough! In marriage, it is often the difference between working things out and divorce! In friendship, it can be what shows God’s love and leads them to Jesus! In parenting, it can be what brings the wayward child back into a loving family. Never easy, but worth it!
