Christians are called to use a different set tools for life as modeled by our Lord. To the world these tools seem so irrational. Jesus met hate with love, violence with kindness, curses with blessing, meanness with forgiveness and death with surrender. You cannot return evil for evil without adding to the problem of evil. You cannot respond like the world without being like the world. You cannot correct problems with power that can only be corrected by love. Christian life-tools are different!
“But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” Luke 6:27-28 (NASB)
