Jephthah: Unmerited Mercy Overcome evil with good

Romans 12:17-21 | Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. “But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

  • How do you usually treat people who hurt you? Have you ever sought revenge (or to get someone back for the way they treated you)? If so, when?

  • How might showing love and doing good to someone who hurt you—

      • Change the way you think about them?

      • Change your relationship with them?

      • Change the way they treat you?

      • Give you a chance to tell them about Jesus?
