Bruce: praying for the unlikeable

Saturday, August 29, 2015
Meditation:
    ... pray for them which despitefully use you.
    —Luke 6:28 (KJV)
Quotation:
    Persistence in prayer for someone whom we don’t like, however much it goes against the grain to begin with, brings about a remarkable change in attitude.
    ... F. F. Bruce (1910-1990), Hard Sayings of the Bible, InterVarsity Press, 2009, p. 364 (see the book)
    See also Luke 6:27-28; 23:34; Acts 7:60; Rom. 12:14; 1 Cor. 4:12-13; Jas. 3:9-10; 1 Pet. 3:9
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, warm my heart towards those who are against me. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
