The Teachings of Jesus – v3 In these words of scripture this training Christ gave on the earth we get a glimpse of the Father and God’s love of each one of us The teachings of Jesus the law of God, not of man treating one another with justice to love each one as our neighbor We are to forgive and to pray even for those who would do us harm for those who hate us, remembering God; He is the judge, we are merely His messengers The teachings of Christ, on the Zion hilltop we, His brother and sisters, His children the sheep of his flock, we are to listen with ears that will hear, and hands to serve The world, so different, unlike the will of God; we are to love, first and foremost to be loyal, faithful to our Creator and to love all of mankind ==== edited January 20, 2015 The Teachings of

He used the example of President Johnson’s statement to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. that it would take 5 years for a voting rights bill but it actually took 5 months to pass the Voting Rights Act, after the March in Selma.
