Revenge

From: CareLines: Volume 6

By: Paul J. Pascoe

1CO 4:12¹²And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: (1 Corinthians 4:12) MAT 5:44⁴⁴But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; (Matthew 5:44)

Being reviled, we bless.

1 Corinthians 4:12¹²And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: (1 Corinthians 4:12)

Bless them that curse you.

Matthew 5:44⁴⁴But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; (Matthew 5:44)

The Apostle Paul put into practice what the Lord has asked each of us to do - that is, to ignore the taunts and jeers of those that hate and despise Christianity and to pray for them instead. When we do this, we really show what God’s love is all about. Anyone can get mad and get even. It takes a real Christian to “turn the other cheek.”
