V * Local and Personal News of Blackville The context, verse 26, cleafly im plies what Is elsewhere positively de clared (John 15:18-21; Luke 21:17) that the follow ers of Christ will be -ggen such a ^spirit of real optimism in readily believe that they should havi 1 Mrs. A. B. Brown, of Chicago, for- bated and opposed. In this-desson Christ, the master teacher, sets forth .principles governing the life of his followers. I. "Love Your Enemies" (v. 27). Love here is not a natural affection. To love friends is easy, but to love enemies Is only possible to those who have beep made'partakers of the UP vin^ nature—been born again. II. "Do Gopd to Them Which Hate You" (v. 27)A\ * Love is .posit ivt^du its nature. Tlie trite dlsn'ple of riiristVnil not merely nj/Taln from doing injury u> the on»» who bates him but will be concerned With doing good to hint, . III. "Bless Them That'Curse You" <|. 28). . ; • < To bless hienn* to sj»eak welT^X, ,^o jnvoke a blessing upon. Injury by words is Inird to let go unchallenged. The true child of God will return blessings for cursings. IV. "Pray for Them V/hich Despite- fully Use You" (v. 2S). \V4* shouhl pray for those who abuse us.. The best counnentary on this pre cept is riirisf's own exaniple, “Father forgive them for they know* not what they do’’ (Luke 23:34). When Christ was reviled, he" reviled not. agawi.n. When he suffered. I>e threatened not. but committed himself to him that judgctji righteously (I Peter 2:23). V. Patiently Endure Wrong and In- jury (v. 251). The Christian.is not to bristle in de fense of bis rights hpt is rather to suffer insult, injury, and even loss. This expresses, the law which .sjiould g5vera Hre ' TmTTVtduuljL actionf 7 btlt should not be pressed so far thsft'evil doers can go unchecked. VI. "Give to Every Man That Ask- eth of Thee” (v. 3t»). God himself is the supreme example -of heiuhtdenoe^.. lie. gives freely and generously but intelligently. This text does not authorize promiscuous giving. It does not mean that every re quest made by the idle, greedy, and selfish should be grunted. A man in poverty -needs to be given a way to pram his living. ~ * — VII. Do as You Wish to Be Done By (v. 31). I’liis is called “The Golden .Hiile.” It is the sum total of Christtan dut\ ts it pertains to liuman inter-relations. Ilttujatt beings carry with them tin* consciousness of obligation wlilcb is the toucliHtom* determining tfielr duty to others. If this rule were lived up Tiv veil, and‘ Vvar wouIT be put to an end. International relations, would be peaceably adjusted and ^11 profiteering in business would end. VIII. Be Ye Merciful (v. This means to be tilled with pity and compassion, to enter ilito7^.vm- patliy with every ne«sl of others.. The *» heavenly Father is our supreme exam ple. IX. Censorious Judgments Con- demned <v. 9f). ■ ■ Tlii.s means t4»at we' should n»*f s»*ek out the evil or faults itt others. for our satisfuction. We shoqjd, not sit In censorious jtWgtnent^tijKui the iic- tieu of others^ A -^-K. Compensations" - ©?-Right Living (v. :w). The one who gives freely of money, hues sincerely,'' makes the Golden Rule the standard of his life, shows mercy .and kimineKs to otlmrs, mol refrains from impugning the motives of others, will he fully rewarded In lime. XI. Danger of Following Falee Teacher* (v. 3J>). • The one who does not know God and the way to heaven will lead otli-"- ers to ruin. XH. Those Who Reprove Others Should Strive to Live Blameless Lives <vv. 41. 42). ' We should remove evil doing .from our own lives before bringing others to yeeouitt. XIII. The Sin of Profession Without Fruits (vv 43-46). The one who in’in fellowship with.
