1. A Command from Our King (v14, 17-18, 20-21)
- “…Repay no one evil for evil…Overcome evil with good”
- “Marg & I decided we needed to protect our own souls from bitterness. So we took a vow that neither of us would ever say an unkind thing about [the gentleman in question]. And we have kept our vow.” (Tom Carson)
2. A Case Study for our Consideration
- Consider three possible responses, each affecting three people.
- When they do you evil….
- .…you ‘fight fire with fire’ & hurt them back.
- .…you ‘ignore the bully’ & do nothing
- .…you ‘give them your coat’ & show them grace.
- Which best serves the Kingdom?
