There is no room in creating a better world for forgiving those that tried to destroy everyone in this one. Justice is coming, and if we intend to move forward it has to happen.
I agree that earthly justice is important. Imo one can forgive spiritually while enforcing the legal penalties against wrongdoing. Mercy without judgment/punishment is unjust.
"Put on." It strikes me that it is always our choice how far we will follow Him. In "The Chosen" Jesus often tells people to look at Him. I like it that they chose to put that in the script. I think it is the only way we can truly succeed in following Him, getting out attention off ourselves and our concerns by being totally focused on God. Thank you for posting this.
YW. You make a good point. The typical mindset of the world is so different than what we are called to be, a change in focus outward is necessary. God bless.
