 Bless Those Who Curse You
14. Bless those who curse you and pray for those who abuse you out of wickedness, so that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven and who lets the sun rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the just and the unjust. (Chap. 25:14)
Christ explains, corrects
and deepens the word:
The one who keeps these commandments is just toward his fellow man and, through a life in God, he will guide many people to the life in God. God does not punish and chastise His children. This is already said by the words, “... who lets the sun rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the just and the unjust.”
God is the giver of life, because He is the life, Himself. From the eternal law of life, God gave human beings the free will to decide freely for or against Him. Whoever is for Him keeps the eternal laws of love and of life and will also receive the gifts of love and of life from the eternal law. The one who feels, thinks and acts against the eternal law receives what he has sown, that is, what he felt, thought, spoke and did.
Therefore, everyone receives what he himself has sown. The one who sows good seed, that is, who fulfills the laws of God, will also reap good fruits. The one who sows human seeds, which he brings into the field of his soul as human sensations, thoughts, words and deeds, will also harvest the corresponding fruits.
From this, you can see that God does not intervene in the will of man. He is the giver, helper, admonisher, leader and protector of those who endeavor to do His will, because they turn to Him. The one who turns away from Him, by creating his own human law, will also be controlled by his own human “ego-law.”
And so, God does not interfere in the law of sowing and reaping. In manifold ways, God reaches out to His children; and those who sincerely pray to Him from their heart and fulfill what I, the Christ in God, My Father, have commanded them – to love one another selflessly – are in God, and God is active through them.

As Jesus of Nazareth, Christ gave us the Sermon on the Mount and He explains and deepens it today through His prophetic word in His great work of revelation: "This Is My Word, Alpha and Omega, The Christ-Revelation, which all true Christians the world over have come to know."
