$14.99

Matthew 5:38-48

When we are hurt by someone, we tend to take the law into our own hands and seek revenge.  Getting even is a natural response when someone offends us.  But, Jesus speaks a message of mercy to his listeners.  He commands that we relinquish retaliation and instead pursue prayer for our enemies.  When we choose love over hate, we are able to overcome evil with good.
