Rain

Scripture Passage: Matthew 5:43-45

Jesus brought new teaching. He said we should do good to our enemies. God set the example for us. While we were sinners, He sent Jesus to die for us. He sends us rain and sunshine to make our crops grow whether we love Him or not. We are to be kind to those who are unkind to us. Even when they persecute us for being Christians we must pray for them. We must forgive them and not try to get revenge.
