Description

In a culture steeped in outrage, vengeance, and blame, the way of Jesus is radically different. Romans 12:21 calls us to overcome evil, not by returning it, but by confronting it with goodness. Jesus didn’t respond to betrayal with bitterness. He didn’t meet violence with retaliation. He loved His enemies, prayed for His persecutors, and forgave those who didn’t even ask. That’s not weakness. It’s power under control. So how do we live that way in a broken world? We grieve with hope instead of fear. We repent and realign when our hearts drift. And we choose to meet hatred with compassion, injustice with mercy, and sin with truth and grace. Because if we’re going to reflect Jesus, we have to see lives, not labels. And we have to stop mirroring the culture and start revealing the Kingdom.
