We are meant to reflect the character of righteousness He shows to all people, displaying goodwill to others.
Jesus adds new perspective to what the Law of Moses indicated when He declares that we should go beyond loving our neighbors and do good even to those who do harm to us and persecute us, noting that God causes the sun to shine and the rain to fall on good and bad alike. We see in Jesus's words the wisdom of God that is beyond our human understanding: Yet when we live it, we are demonstrating what is truly divine.
Indeed, by showing to others what they don't deserve, we reflect what is truly holy, and that God is dwelling in us, His temples.
