Even though we all hurt we are responsible for how we
respond. Retaliation has its appeal, but Jesus has a better idea.
Jesus sets the example.
“Jesus
knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had
come from God and would return to God. So he got up from the table, took off
his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, and poured water into a basin. Then
he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around
him.”
(John 13:3–5 nlt)
Jesus’ command.
“And
since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. I have given you
an example to follow. Do as I have done to you.” (John 13:14–15 nlt)
“Then
Peter came to Him and said, ‘Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me,
and I forgive him? Up to seven times?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I do not say to you,
up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.’” (Matthew
18:21–22 nkjv )
Don't miss accepting God's grace and using it in your life.
