The 118 to set forth the ideal of life alone corresponds the will of God. The motive of this life is love carried to the point at which it begins to resemble the love of God himself. All "and provisos by | 'which men customarily regulate even their most benevolent actions are swept aside, and active benevolence toward all men, without distinction of character, class, or merit, is demand- ed, Thus Christ's standard for: the conduct of his followers transcends not only all ordinary morality, but even the highest ideals of the greatest human philosophers. The only suffis cient ideal is the passionate love of | God himself. Vs. 27, 28. Love, the principle of the Chnstian life, is first and most significantly to pe shown towards enemies. Ordinary morality recog- I nizes the duty of loyalty and love to friends, but Christianity goes beyond | this, for it requires the rewarding of hostility with kindness, of hatred with benevolence, of imprecations with blessings, of bitter insults with pray- ers for the offender's good. Jesus re- fuses to recognize that in this matter any element of prudence or caution is necessary. It may be courageous to fight. It is much more courageous to try the method of love. This duty hoids quite apart from the considera- tion t love disarms the evil to which it is opposed. V. 29. The first instance taken is the case where personal insult is offered in a particularly humiliating form. ~The natural instinct when a blow is struck at the face is to re taliate with blow for blow, or to resort to the duel. The follower of Christ is not to adopt this method, but to res- | train himself even to the extent of exposing himself to a second affront. The second instance is where the lenemy goes to law with the unoffend- [ing party and tries to obtain a ver- dict against him. Such abuse of jus- tice was not uncommon in Oriental society, but here, again, rather than resort to retaliation the Christian should surrender the very.coat upon his back. It might seem as if such self-denial would undermine the foun- dations of social order and justice, but i around > ples are not only practicable but. ntly necessi- tous, it is premature to ask questions about their ultimate effect. To put ourselves in others' places is not mere- a beautiful ideal; it is the minimum and-of a truly social justice. = it is not go. The Christian way of "good for evil" is not only right in| the abstract, but in practice leads , ultimately to the disarming and over- | coming of evil. ! V. 80. But love means not only the | | refusal to retaliate and the wiling-| ness to suffer wrong. It implies a will! to give and to give without calcula- , tion. Ordinary evolence is hamp- jered by inadequate faith in men and by too prudent a reckoning of obliga- tions and rewards. The follower of | Christ should think of life wholly in terms of giving. Vs. 31-34. Now comes the supreme ! principle which is to govern all. "Do ito others all that you would have them do to you." Other teachers like Hillel taught this principle in the negative form: "Refrain from doing to others what you would not wish them to do to you." Christ inaugur- ated a revolution when he gave the principle its positive form. He start- ted his followers on the task of think- ing out inventively the means of blessing and helping mankind. Above all, he bade men put themselves in the place of other men. So long as we are self-centred and self-regardful, we have not even begun to live like Christ. Vs. 85, 86. So Jesus returns to the main priniple of doing good even to enemies. And this is to be done not in blind obedience to a principle, but with abgolute confidence in re- sults. No man is to be despaired of. The very worst may be red A Moreover, such benevolence brings the Christian into line with the meth. ode and operations of the heavenly Father. d is ever kind to the un- thankful and the evil. And men enter on their true status as sons of God only when they practice God's own ungrudgingness. Notice in what terms Jesus defines the chief end.of man. Jt is that we -shouid become "sons of God," that is that we should wear the ! likeness of the heavenly Father, and {be the objects of his love, ; V. 87, 88. Further applications.
