Retaliation, Rights, & Requirements of Christ's Righteousness-Matthew 5:38-42

C.H. Spurgeon championed the Christian virtue of kindness. He said, "We are bound to be just and right towards all men as men, whatever their religious convictions, or irreligious notions. Injustice is no friend to truth. We must not fight God's battles with the weapons of ill-will. For us to hate those who are in error, or talk of them with contempt or wish them ill, or do them wrong, is not according to the Spirit of Christ. You cannot cast out Satan by Satan, nor correct error by violence, nor overcome hate by hate." Jesus exhorts His followers towards forbearance and great patience when faced with offenses and provocation. He calls for radical kindness rather than radical retaliation. Join us this coming Lord's Day for "Retaliation, Rights, & the Requirements of Christ's Righteousness" (Matt 5:38-42).
