But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. Luke 6:27-28 (NIV)
My reflection of the verse
It's quite hard to follow this particular law. Many of us find it difficult to love the person we hate or who have hurt us. Sometimes it's also hard to forgive what they did. There are instances that we would want to get even or hurt them as well. But God tells us that we should do the opposite. This reminds me of another verse in the bible ROMANS 12:21 which says "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." We Christians should be like Jesus who was able to forgive those who mocked Him or crucified Him. Although His crucifixion was part of God the Father's plan but still Jesus has taught us to forgive and love those who sin against us. It is also important to pray for those who persecute us because I believe that prayer is a very powerful weapon. Hence, we should be loving, forgiving and prayerful Christians because our God has command us to obey this law.
