1 Love your enemies 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. For if you love only those who love you, what reward do you have?. Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Matthew 5

2 Bridger wilderness area USA
Trails need to be reconstructed. Please avoid building trails that go uphill Too many bugs and leeches and spiders and webs. Please spray the wilderness to rid the areas of these pests. Please pave the trails…chair lifts need to be in some places so that we can get to wonderful views without having to hike to them The coyotes made too much noise last night and kept me awake. Please get rid of these annoying animals. A small deer came into my camp and stole by jar of pickles. Is there a way I can get reimbursed? Please call… Escalators would help on steep uphill sections A McDonalds would be nice at the trailhead. Too many rocks in the mountains

4 Verse 21: "You have heard that the ancients were told, 'You shall not commit murder' and 'Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.' 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court." Verse 27: "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery' 28 but I say to you, that everyone who looks on a woman to lust for her has committed adultery with her already in his heart."

5 Verse 31: "And it was said, 'Whoever sends his wife away, let him give her a certificate of divorce'; 32 but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the cause of unchastity, makes her commit adultery." Verse 33: "Again, you have heard that the ancients were told, 'You shall not make false vows, but shall fulfill your vows to the Lord.' 34 But I say to you, make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool."

6 Verse 38: "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' 39 But I say to you, do not resist him who is evil." Verse 43: "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbour, and hate your enemy.' 44 But I say to you, love your enemies."

7 MATT 5 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 in order 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. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

8 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it[i] to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12

9 JOHN PIPER Loving your enemy doesn't earn you the reward of heaven.
But Treasuring the reward of heaven empowers you to love your enemy.
