Luke 6

This is pretty ridiculous right? seriously thinking about applying these verses to my life seems pretty ridiculous. It sounds like i will really have to change the way i think. I was walking back to my jeep tonight and had $1200 worth of stuff in my there and was thinking about what I would do if i saw someone digging in my jeep getting out my amp or guitar… beat the crap out of the probably.. guess that says a lot about the importance of scripture in my life.

i’ve realized that i assume scripture is easy to apply.. and i usually don’t run across scripture that i have to try hard to keep..  but this hits me. 

 27“But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,28bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. 30Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31Do to others as you would have them do to you. 32“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even ’sinners’ love those who love them. 33And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even ’sinners’ do that. 34And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even ’sinners’ lend to ’sinners,’ expecting to be repaid in full. 35But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.36Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
