It is Friday afternoon and winter has really established it self both with cold and snow. Yes it is nice with the snow, but I do dream of hot tea in a cosy spot. My dream company would be Jesus. Imagen to have a low tea with Jesus! To break bread with him….<\/p>\n
Well talking about breaking bread. It is always fun to break bread with people that you care about, but how would it be if you had to break bread with a person you do not like as much? Would you do it? Would you follow Jesus example?<\/p>\n
In the sermon of the mount from vers 21 and down to 47 we find as follows:<\/p>\n
21\u00a0<\/sup>Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:<\/span><\/p>\n 22\u00a0<\/sup>But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.<\/span><\/p>\n 23\u00a0<\/sup>Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;<\/span><\/p>\n 24\u00a0<\/sup>Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.<\/span><\/p>\n 25\u00a0<\/sup>Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.<\/span><\/p>\n 26\u00a0<\/sup>Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.<\/span><\/p>\n 27\u00a0<\/sup>Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:<\/span><\/p>\n 28\u00a0<\/sup>But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.<\/span><\/p>\n 29\u00a0<\/sup>And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.<\/span><\/p>\n 30\u00a0<\/sup>And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.<\/span><\/p>\n 31\u00a0<\/sup>It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:<\/span><\/p>\n 32\u00a0<\/sup>But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.<\/span><\/p>\n 33\u00a0<\/sup>Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:<\/span><\/p>\n 34\u00a0<\/sup>But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:<\/span><\/p>\n 35\u00a0<\/sup>Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.<\/span><\/p>\n 36\u00a0<\/sup>Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.<\/span><\/p>\n 37\u00a0<\/sup>But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.<\/span><\/p>\n 38\u00a0<\/sup>Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:<\/span><\/p>\n 39\u00a0<\/sup>But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.<\/span><\/p>\n 40\u00a0<\/sup>And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.<\/span><\/p>\n 41\u00a0<\/sup>And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.<\/span><\/p>\n 42\u00a0<\/sup>Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.<\/span><\/p>\n 43\u00a0<\/sup>Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.<\/span><\/p>\n 44\u00a0<\/sup>But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;<\/span><\/p>\n 45\u00a0<\/sup>That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.<\/span><\/p>\n 46\u00a0<\/sup>For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?<\/span><\/p>\n 47\u00a0<\/sup>And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n So think about that. I know it is hard to follow, but it is so worth it. Yes I do get upset and angry with people. I do think less nice toughts about them. But when I am done with that I do ask our Father for forgivness and I do pray over them. In my prayer and at times when I can show kindness to the ones not so nice to me I feel a huge peace insed of me.<\/p>\n Now there are times when one has to put a stop to bad behavior and do one self the gift of leaving a toxic enviorment. God did give us free will and a brain. Use both wisely.<\/p>\n God\u00b4s blessing upon all y\u00b4all.<\/p>\n LB<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is Friday afternoon and winter has really established it self both with cold and snow.
