JESUS AND PRAYER #6

PRAY FOR YOUR ENEMIES 

In Matthew chaper 5, Jesus tells us for whom to pray for. Sometimes people are in doubt in this area, but here we find some information that will help us. 

(Mathew 5:44-45): "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; 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."

Jesus said "...pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you..." Jesus did not say to criticize and talk about those who despitefully use you and persecute you. He said pray for them. Lets begin to put this in practice. 

Notice the next verse: "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." 

Jesus is inferring here that if you are a child of your Father, a child of God, that you are going to do things He said to do in the previous verse, in verse 44.
