09/04/20 JUSTICE OR VENGEANCE — Deuteronomy 32:43 (CSB) says “Rejoice, you nations, concerning His people, for He will avenge the blood of His servants. He will take vengeance on His adversaries; He will purify His land and His people.” And Romans 12:19 says “Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for God’s wrath, because it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’”

My mom (probably your mom, too) taught us, “Two wrongs don’t make a right.” All over this land people are screaming for “Justice!” But it seems clear that what they really want is VENGEANCE. Unbelievers most likely do NOT care what the Bible says. BUT for all you Christians out there, REMEMBER: God specifically FORBIDS us to seek/take vengeance. Be assured—eventually ALL wrongs will be righted, because real vengeance is HIS responsibility.
