Love Your Enemies "Matthew 5:43-48"
Love Your Enemies "Matthew 5:43-48"
Mega Man has arguably one of the greatest video game rogues galleries. So in this painting I wanted to illustrate Jesus' commandment to love your enemies by having Mega Man give of his life and energy bar to his foes. The background was inspired by the original NES game packaging.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Matthew 5:43-48
