2 Forgiveness Matthew 5:38-48 You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye a oth for a oth. But I say you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also; if anyone wants sue you take your coat, give your cloak as well; if anyone forces you go one mile, go also the second mile. Give everyone who begs from you, do not refuse anyone who wants borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor hate your ene. But I say you, Love your enemies pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil on the good, sends rain on the righteous on the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collecrs do the same? And if you greet only your brothers sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

We believe in the triune God, Father, Son Holy Spirit, who gathers, protects cares for the Church by Word Spirit. This, God has done since the beginning of the world will do the end. We believe in one holy, universal Christian church, the communion of saints called from the entire human family. We believe in Christ s work of reconciliation. We believe that unity is both a gift an obligation for the Church. We believe this unity must become visible for the world. We believe that God has entrusted the church with the message of reconciliation. We believe in the life giving Word Spirit that has conquered the powers of sin death. We believe in the God of peace justice, who is with the poor the oppressed. Together we st against injustice. We reject the separation of people on the grounds of race color. And we resist any thought or action that leads disunity within the body of Christ, the Church. Jesus is Lord. To the one only God, Father, Son Holy Spirit, be the honor the glory for ever ever.

Identified by a pale yellow halo, Christ sts on a rustic podium near the crowd s center. He presents his sermon with disciples behind him, paying rapt attention, while many in the diverse throng prefer socialize with one another rather than listen Christ s message its significance for their daily lives. 6
