Reading a new book it brought up a very good point. In Romans 12:17-19 it says 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” [a] says the Lord. For the flesh in us this is a very hard prospect. Even though we know be will take care of it the man in me says.... I got this. Or, he did what..... I will take care of it. We all try to say we would turn the other cheek but do we? Like Pastor Paul said yesterday, are we really any different than Judas? At least in the end Judas knew what he had done but do you really care or do you just pass it off as it isn't really that big of a deal. As Christians we are suppose to be Christ- like at all times not just on Sunday mornings. So do you have the strength to turn the other cheek when it is hard or are you going to do what everyone else does?
