Reflection Prompts 1.) In this passage Jesus speaks to the brokenness of the world and challenges his listeners to respond in a surprising way which includes generosity, love, and prayer - even for our enemies. As you reflect on your presence in the world, how have your actions compared to Jesus’ challenge here? Bring your response to God knowing it will be met with love and grace. 2.) At the end of this passage Jesus tells his listeners to be like the Father. If generosity, love, and prayer are ways we can be like the Father, what does this show you about the Father’s character?
