Do not take revenge, my friends…
Overcome evil with good. Romans 12:19, 21
If you are a "good Christian" like me, you probably don’t really think you need to focus too much on God’s command to not take revenge. But, think twice!
The other day I was trying to concentrate in a “quiet zone” of the airport and two men had been drinking a bit too much and were loud, boisterous, trying to impress one another as well as everyone else. Finally, I kindly asked if they could move to another area. Their response was to laugh loudly and ask, “Are WE making too much NOISE? Are WE making too much NOISE? Ha, ha, ha!” My reply to this was not exactly ungodly, but it certainly did not fall into the category of “overcoming evil with good!”
