Getting Over It #3 of 3 (When You've Been Wronged)

March 11, 2013

We’re all born with a propensity to sin and a desire to seek revenge whenever we’re attacked, but vengeance is not something we have a right to. The Bible declares that “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” So, how do we adjust our instincts to agree with the Scriptures?

The Vanishing Power Of Death
Death no longer has dominion over the one who follows Christ. When the tomb was found empty, death lost its power. In “The Vanishing Power of Death,” Pastor Lutzer considers the evidence for the resurrection of Christ and its impact on the disciples. From Mary weeping at the tomb, to Thomas' doubting, to Christ's counseling session with two discouraged disciples on the road to Emmaus, Pastor Lutzer shows readers that the experiences of the disciples are poignant and relevant for believers today. This is a book that is sure to invigorate your faith and make a lasting difference in the hands of a friend.

When someone attacks us, we want to attack back. But the Bible says, “Bless those who persecute you: bless and do not curse.” Today, some hard lessons on resolving conflict, and getting over past injustices.

Despite best efforts, some people refuse reconciliation, and hang on to their hurts until their knuckles turn white. Letting go of past injustice seems, for many, to be the ultimate insult. After all, those injustices give people their reason to go on fighting. Today: a call to give up the hurts that are held dear and be healed of anger.

Jesus never complained when He suffered. So why do we haul fellow believers into court when we think we’ve been cheated? Maybe it’s because we think we can get justice from unbelieving judges. In reality, God wants us to get our justice from His hand. It’s better to suffer a wrong than to tarnish the name of Jesus in a court of law.

Making sure you get justice is a big deal in the world’s value system. That’s why so many people file lawsuits. When Christians absorb the world’s values, they file lawsuits along with everybody else. The Bible tells us that such actions defame the cause of Christ. Today: a call for believers to act like believers and let God be their final bar of justice.

It’s almost fashionable to sue someone these days. Court dockets are overflowing as people demand payback for injustice. Sadly, too many of these cases involve Christians, in violation of the New Testament. The Apostle Paul has some pointed words for those of us who’d like nothing better than to stick it to a fellow believer in court. Today, some counter-cultural teaching.
