For most of us, our natural instinct when someone hurts us is either to hurt them back or ignore them. We either want payback or we want them out of our life. A life that has been transformed by the mercy of God will live distinct from the pattern we see most people living out. We will respond peacefully and patiently, with kindness and good deeds, leaving justice to God. Some will accuse us of being ‘run over,’ ‘taken advantage of,’ or even ‘abused.’ But we know we are simply striving to live out the example we saw in Christ. Join us as we look at one of the most unnatural responses that should be the pattern of Christian living and not the exception.
