How (Not) to Get Even

We’re hard-wired for justice. The God who created us in his image is a God of justice. He loves justice. He practices justice. But the same God who hard-wired us for justice also says personal vengeance is not the way to get it. Revenge is not justice; getting even is not justice.

Revenge is off-limits for a Christ-follower because it’s not the way of Jesus. But the desire to get even is so powerful. How do you resist it?

Listen as Ryan preaches from 1 Samuel 24, where David resists the temptation to take revenge on Saul.
