Forgiveness and mercy are the things that set us apart from other faiths. In this passage we see the Israelites taking their vengeance on their enemies, and we see them do it in a very gruesome way. We are called to forgive, unconditionally, and infinitely, those who sin against us. We are not to take vengeance. Rather, we are to turn the other cheek and show mercy. God has forgiven us for sinning against him. God has, if you will, turned the other cheek to us. Let us do the same. Let us follow our calling to not take vengeance. God bless you.
Pastor Josh
