Sermon on the Mount #18 How to Stand Against Evil Even If We Are Not To Resist Evil

There is not a sinful passion that can bring about such great destruction in such a short period of time as the desire to get even with someone who has offended you. Revenge may be manifested in inwardly or outwardly. It may silently be cherished within your heart or spoken under your breath or it may take a more violent outlet as we see all of the time in riots, murders, burning of businesses. Personal vengeance is always sinful because it is motivated by selfish pride and hatred to repay the wrong committed against you.
