Humility is something that kinda gets to me sometimes.
well at first Jesus talks about vows and how we should not make vows. He showed how that pretty much nothing we have is really ours so we should not vow to things because we don't have control We should just say either yes or no.
Revenge is something that i feel has been a problem in my life. Not sure about it now but thinking back i've wanted to probably beat people up for things they had done to me, but thinking about it now most of the time i'd probably be the one getting in trouble for it or i would have a really bitter heart afterwards. For us to be able to just turn our cheek and try to be humble about it would take a lot of faith out of me at least. He also talks about loving our enemies and to pray for those who persecute you. for me i would say that would be one of the hardest things to do.
Loving enemies would just not make sense to me... although it wouldn't just mean to be trampled over by them... but what would we have to do to show that we are able to love our enemies? Reading the Word would be so complicated for non-believers... with the knowledge of Jesus i have right now it makes a little bit of sense
I am just wondering how far to the extent we should take things.
i also just wonder how to use these parts of word, to compare our time and culture with the time that Jesus was saying these things and if Jesus was here right now would he say the same thing?
