TOPIC: Forgive Your Enemies
Seems too easy. Doesn’t mom need to experience what she gave? A few years wondering if she’ll see her daughter again, some pain-filled nights, a bit of justice. Isn’t some vengeance in order? Of course it is. God cares about justice more than we do. In Romans 12, Paul says, “Never pay back evil for evil. Leave that to God, for he has said that he will repay those who deserve it” (Romans 12:17, 19 TLB).
We fear the evildoer will slip into the night, unknown and unpunished. Not to worry. God will repay, not he might repay. God will execute justice on behalf of truth and fairness. Fix your enemies? That’s God’s job. Forgive your enemies? Ahh, that’s where you and I come in. We forgive.
