Day 7: Abram's rescue of Lot, Jesus' call for universal love

In Genesis 14-16, Abram courageously rescues his nephew Lot from the Battle of Siddim, a conflict involving multiple kings. Following this victory, Abram is blessed by Melchizedek, and later, God promises Abram countless descendants despite Sarai's barrenness. Abram and Sarai, struggling with faith, decide to have a child through Hagar, Sarai's maid, leading to the birth of Ishmael. Will Abram's actions align with God's promise, or will they lead to unforeseen consequences? In Matthew 5:43-48, Jesus delivers a profound message, challenging the traditional notion of loving only one's neighbor. He urges his followers to love their enemies and pray for those who persecute them, emphasizing that God's love is universal, extending to the just and unjust. This teaching culminates in a call to perfection, just as the Heavenly Father is perfect. Can we, as mere mortals, rise to this challenge of unconditional love and forgiveness?
