 REVENGE Jesus pretty much ruled out revenge for his followers. The reason goes like this: We are all sinners, we have all let down God, others and ourselves, and we need God to forgive and forget everything we have done wrong if we are to return to a proper relationship with him. This was central to Jesus's message. But if we cry to God for mercy, have him wipe out the vast debt we owe him, what right have we then got to remember all that we are owed by others, and exact revenge for every petty grudge we bear them? "If you do not forgive those who sin against you," Jesus said, "your Father will not forgive your sins" (Matthew 6:15). More of Jesus' sayings |
