Read our words to remember for this week “But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you.” Matthew 5:44 This text is what Jesus said to the people hundreds of years after this story we are reading about today.
Then and now, Jesus calls us to do a good thing even if it seems it’s ok to do a bad thing.
David says in vs 13 “As the old saying goes, From evil doers come evil deeds.”
