Last week we encountered a man who got in a fight with another man, and “blasphemed the LORD and cursed.” We are not sure exactly what he said, but the punishment was death. Now we might see this as harsh, but what our passage reveals to us today is that His punishment always fits the sin that has been committed.

This passage has been used, many times, to give us permission to exact revenge on those who have hurt us. However, this is not the meaning of this passage at all. So what is the meaning of this passage? Let’s find out together.

1. We think incorrectly. 1 Corinthians 11:31
2. What does the Bible say? Romans 12:17; Proverbs 24:17; Romans 12:14; Matthew 5:38-39; and Proverbs 25:21-22.
3. What did Jesus live before us? Luke 23:34
4. How can I understand the reason for this? Genesis 50:19-20; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 4:32; James 1:19-20; and Romans 5:8, 10.

Jesus forgave us while we were His enemies, so we should live likewise.

When was an enemy of Jesus? Before you repented, believed, and committed your life to Him.

And even today, there are people who are still enemies, living in opposition to Jesus Christ. But this can all be changed this morning, if you will come and surrender to Him.
