The desire for revenge when we have been wronged runs deep within us. Yet Jesus’ teaching is countercultural on revenge. Not only are we to not exact revenge, we are to love our enemies, to pray for them, to do good to them.
This isn’t easy to do, but if we are walking in path of Jesus Christ, He gives us strength to love as He loved us. To be kind and merciful to our enemies.
Thank you for your support of Equipped each month. We are grateful for you.
