The Blinding Power of an Offense (When You've Been Wronged)
May 18, 2014
Spanish bullfighters often use a bright red cloth to enrage “El Toro” the bull and get him to charge. This is the origin of the expression “seeing red” when we are offended. When someone treats us badly, our first reaction is to strike back. Yet as Christians, we are called upon to respond quite differently.

Death is our greatest enemy. It is final. Nothing in medical science can re-animate dead tissue. When Jesus was crucified by the Romans, He died at the hands of men who were very good at making sure a man was dead. Soldiers guarded the tomb to make sure He stayed dead.

Sooner or later, the government will tell us to do something we cannot do as Christians. Or, they will prohibit us from doing things we must do as believers. While we have a clear obligation to both church and state, how do we handle the conflicts that inevitably arise?
