Meridian Magazine :: Myth of the Month: Learning from Jesus How to Treat Our Enemies

Article snippet: Jesus Practiced what He Preached

I think of the time the malicious Pharisee/lawyer came trying to embarrass Jesus. Jesus responded by sharing the story that is one of the greatest ever told, the story of the Good Samaritan.

Jesus frequently hung out with the most disagreeable people; He was “the friend of publicans and sinners” (Matthew 11:19, Luke 7:34). He acted as if He liked and valued those whom others found unworthy of fellowship.

Jesus held up outsiders and losers as deserving of our love: the woman at the well, lepers, adulterers and sinners, and Samaritans. Jesus saw goodness and earnestness where others saw only disgrace.

The glorious standard set by the Saviour was in that he loved His enemies. His teachings did not strike against the Pharisees themselves, but against the falsehoods which plagued them. Our LORD also took care never to limit the agency of man, He forever respected the Universal Right of Conscience.

I will add, the Savior conversation or replies when questioned always differ when different groups would approach Him but it followed a pattern.
