Luke 6:27-38. For he is kind to the unthankful and those who are wicked.

And aren't we glad? If God is kind to those who are wicked or unthankful (translation: us) then we are certain he will love us for trying to be like him. That means we should help others, even if they are pains- in-the-neck or pigs (like brothers) or just plain jerks, we should help them. That is what Jesus would do. Remember, God loves the jerks, and the little brothers, and all those pain-in-the-neck people. Also remember that to someone else you might be that pain-in-the-neck Jesus was talking about.

If God has the patience to love you when you reject and ignore him, can you do less and still really call yourself his disciple? I know that I am not perfect, but knowing God loves me anyway makes it a lot easier to be nice to my little brother when he annoys me. God loves him as much as he loves me. And the nicest thing about this passage is that Jesus affirms all our hopes when he says that God loves all of us, even at our worst.

Come with us, O blessed Jesus,
With us evermore to be:
And in leaving now thine altar,
Let us nevermore leave thee!
O let thine angel chorus
Cease not the heavenly strain,
But in us, thy loving children,
Bring peace, good will to men.

Ps 119:49-72; *Wisdom 4:165:8; Col. 1:242:7
*From the Apocrypha
