Sigan bendiciendo a los que los persiguen; estén bendiciendo, y no maldiciendo (Rom. 12:14).
Sabemos que la predicación provocará la ira de nuestros enemigos, pues Jesús advirtió: “Serán objeto de odio de parte de todas las naciones por causa de mi nombre” (Mat. 24:9). Por eso, no nos sorprende ni nos desanima que la gente se ponga en nuestra contra (1 Ped. 4:12, 13). En vez de guardarles rencor a quienes nos persiguen, tratamos de darles a conocer la verdad, pues sabemos que algunos de ellos actúan por ignorancia (2 Cor. 4:4). Siempre procuramos seguir el consejo de Pablo citado en el texto de hoy. Una manera de bendecir a los opositores es orando por ellos. Jesús dijo en el Sermón del Monte: “Continúen amando a sus enemigos, haciendo bien a los que los odian, bendiciendo a los que los maldicen, orando por los que los insultan” (Luc. 6:27, 28).
Sunday, October 2
Keep on blessing those who persecute; be blessing and do not be cursing.—Rom. 12:14.
We know that our Christian activity will provoke the anger of our enemies, for Jesus warned us: “You will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name.” (Matt. 24:9) Consequently, we are not surprised or discouraged when we meet up with opposition. (1 Pet. 4:12, 13) Rather than feeling animosity toward our persecutors, we try to enlighten them, realizing that some among them may be acting out of ignorance. (2 Cor. 4:4) We endeavor to heed Paul’s counsel as found in today’s text. One way to bless opposers is to pray for them. Jesus said in his Sermon on the Mount: “Continue to love your enemies, to do good to those hating you, to bless those cursing you, to pray for those who are insulting you.”—Luke 6:27, 28.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
