1. Ore pelos seus inimigos
44 But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
A misericórdia salva!
Jesus ensinou que devemos amar não apenas aqueles que nos amam, mas também nossos inimigos ou quem consideramos inimigos, mesmo que sem absoluta certeza.
1. O Bom Samaritano
30 After careful consideration, Jesus replied,"A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of bandits. They stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.
31 By chance, a priest was traveling along that road. When he saw the man,he went by on the other side.
32 Similarly, a Levite came to that place. When he saw the man,he also went by on the other side.
33 But as he was traveling along, a Samaritan came across the man.When the Samaritansaw him, he was moved with compassion.
34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 The next day he took out two denariiand gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take good care of him. If you spend more than that, I'll repay you when I come back.’
36 "Of these three men, who do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the bandits?"
37 He said, "The one who showed mercy to him."Jesus told him,"Go and do what he did."
O verdadeiro amor transcende barreiras!
Em Lucas 10:30-37, Jesus conta a parábola do Bom Samaritano. Um homem é assaltado e deixado quase morto. Dois passam por ele sem ajudá-lo, mas um samaritano, considerado inimigo dos judeus, oferece ajuda ao desamparado. Jesus explica que o verdadeiro amor ao próximo transcende barreiras culturais e preconceitos, encorajando-nos a agir com compaixão para com todos.
3. A Mulher Adúltera
3 But the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery. After setting her before them,
4 they said to him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the very act of adultery.
5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women to death. What do you say?"
6 They said this to test him, so that they might have a charge against him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with his finger.
7 When they persisted in questioning him, he straightened up and said to them,"Let the person among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."
8 Then he bent down again and continued writing on the ground.
9 When they heard this, they went away one by one, beginning with the oldest, and he was left alone with the woman standing there.
10 Then Jesus stood up and said to her,"Woman, where are your accusers?Hasn't anyone condemned you?"
11 She said, "No one, sir."Then Jesus said,"I don't condemn you either. Go home, and from now on do not sin any more."
Perdão e compaixão acima de tudo!
Em João 8:3-11, Jesus encontra uma mulher acusada de adultério, prestes a ser apedrejada. Diferente dos demais, Ele não a condena, mas desafia os acusadores, dizendo:
"Aquele que dentre vós está sem pecado seja o primeiro que atire pedra contra ela."
Todos vão embora, e Jesus salva e orienta a mulher, mostrando um exemplo poderoso de perdão e compaixão.
4. O Servo do Centurião
5 When Jesus returned to Capernaum, a centurion came up to him and begged him repeatedly,
6 "Sir, my servant is lying at home paralyzed and in terrible pain."
7 Jesus said to him,"I will come and heal him."
8 The centurion replied, "Sir, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
9 For I, too, am a man under authority and have soldiers under me. I say to one ‘Go’ and he goes, to another ‘Come’ and he comes, and to my servant ‘Do this’ and he does it."
10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those who were following him,"Truly I tell you, not evenin Israel have I found this kind of faith!
11 I tell you, many will come from east and west and will feast with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
12 But the citizensof that kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion,"Go. It will be done for you just as you have believed." And his servant was healed that very hour.
Fé que move montanhas!
Em Mateus 8:5-13, um centurião prova a sua fé, acreditando que Jesus pode curar seu servo apenas com uma palavra. Jesus, impressionado com a fé do centurião, cura o servo.
Este ato de amor e cura mostra que Jesus ajuda a todos, independentemente de origem, posição social ou qualquer outra classificação. Ele é misericordioso sem ver a quem.
5. O Sacrifício na Cruz
13 No one showsgreater love than when he lays down his life for his friends.
O maior ato de amor ao próximo!
O maior ato de amor ao próximo foi feito por Cristo na Cruz para que pudéssemos ser salvos. Em João 15:13, Jesus disse:
"Ninguém tem maior amor do que este, de dar alguém a sua vida pelos seus amigos."
Lembre-se sempre de agradecer pelo sacrifício de Jesus, que deu sua vida na Terra por nós, a humanidade.
