It's been said that comparison is the thief of joy. Satan uses comparison to deceive us into finding our worth and value from how we measure up to other people. The Bible tells us that Satan is out to steal, kill, and destroy. Comparison is one of the ways he robs us of our joy in Christ.

Sexual sin in the Bible shows us that Satan has taken God's good gift of sex and twisted it into something that steals, kills, and destroys our lives. But in Christ, we experience complete forgiveness, a new nature, and resurrection power to move beyond this roadblock in our lives.

Past mistakes can leave us feeling guilt and shame for a long time. They can leave us stuck on the journey of life. We all have a past and it can be a major roadblock that keeps us from experiencing the abundant life Jesus said He came to give. Peter made past mistakes, but in John 21, Jesus leads him beyond the roadblock of his past, and this passage shows us how to move beyond the roadblock of our past as well.

How are we supposed to love our enemies? That seems impossible! And in your flesh, it is impossible. But Jesus loved His enemies, and if you are in Christ, He will love your enemies as He expresses His life through you.

Luke 6:27-28... “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
