I was talking with Jim about stare decisis on Saturday. He talked about the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus came to fulfill the law not to demolish it (Matthew 5:17). However, he shook things up. He really shook things up. Check out some of these verses:
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" (Matthew 5:43-44, my italics).
That is a pretty radical concept. How many people do you know who love their enemies? In good times, it is easy to thank Jesus, but, wow, it is a pretty radical idea to pray for those who persecute during the bad times.
