Resistance, Retaliation, Revenge
od established governments to wield sword
the law eye for eye
the law eye for eye
Based on eye for eye, that wasn’t retaliation either,
purpose is court judgment so punishment not harsher than the crime and to prevent personal retaliation.
do not take revenge, love your neighbor
Retaliation escalates to violence
Culture of vengeance – Papua or Hatfields and McCoys.
Especially in governments.
Peace through power is not peace but acquiescence to a bigger threat.
Do not retaliate/resist/oppose or respond to evil with evil.

Example of Jesus
you are called to follow Jesus’ example, walk in His steps

never pay back evil with evil
never take revenge, vengeance belongs to the Lord.
never take revenge, vengeance belongs to the Lord.
Life, Reconciliation, Non-violence
We value life.
Created in the image of God.
All human life is valuable.
What people choose to do with their lives is not our responsibility to change but to bring them the good news of the Kingdom and by our lives lead them to the King.
Live with others in the understanding that they are all suffering from the same sin influence, although differently responding.
Terrorists, adulterers, homosexuals, abortionists, child molesters/traffickers, thieves, presidents, pastors, etc.
Our perspective should not be as savior or judge, but as fellow prisoner who was freed from bondage and pointing to our rescuer.
Jesus’ mission of reconciliation - Jesus broke down the wall of hostility between enemies.
Brought together Jews and Gentiles.
All have equal access now to God the Father through the cross.
So now there is no room for hostility, for retaliation, for violence.
So now there is no room for hostility, for retaliation, for violence.
Ideally, the world would follow Jesus' example and live in peace with each other.
Realistically, that doesn't happen.
but that doesn't excuse Jesus' followers from making peace.
2 Corinthians 5:18-19

God reconciled us through Christ and gave us the message and ministry of reconciliation as well.

ministry of reconciliation, the Gospel.
God reconciled us through Christ and gave us the message and ministry of reconciliation as well.
As the image bearers and followers of the King, we are ambassadors of God's Kingdom among the kingdoms of the world.
Our first responsibility is to carry the message of the King (Gospel).
When there is a difference between the kingdom of the world and the Kingdom of God, we are always to faithfully represent the Kingdom of God.
We are to respond to evil and violence, but as the Kingdom of God responds.
In the sermon on the mount and the beatitudes Jesus is calling for a response, not a non-response.
Not retaliation, not revenge, but also not passive abuse.
a right response.
a positive response to a negative treatment.
a good response to evil.
Show love, mercy, forgiveness, compassion.
