A LESSON FROM ECHOES By Becky Kew Published at www.GospelHall.org
PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TODAY WOULD SAY: “DON’T LET PEOPLE WALK ALL OVER YOU.” “GIVE THEM A DOSE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE.” “DON’T BE A WEAKLING.”
WE SHOULD USE GOOD TO DEFEAT EVIL JESUS, THE CREATOR’S SON, WOULD TEACH A DIFFERENT LESSON:
He experiemented and shouted: I HATE YOU!
Each time he shouted louder and louder and was getting more upset each time. He did this three times.
His mother heard him outside, and knew what was happening….. He told her: “There is a little boy outside that hates me.”
She told him to go outside and tell that little boy: I LOVE YOU!
He ran outside and did this three times….. The words came back to him tenderly and sincerely…….
BE NOT OVERCOME OF EVIL, BUT OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD ROMANS 12:21
ALL OVER THE WORLD MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE ALLOWING THEMSELVES TO BE CONQUERED BY EVIL. HATE BREEDS HATE.
There is one who wants to give you power to repay hate with love. We can’t do it in our own strength consistently, we will fail. We need the power of God.
Not only this, but we need his forgiveness. We have gone our own way.
GOD US (SINFUL) SIN SEPERATES US FROM GOD
GOD US (SINFUL) GOD’S LOVE CAN CANCEL OUT OUR SEPERATION. (FORGIVENESS)
The Lord Jesus never hated, yet he was punished for my sins and yours. He willingly took the punishment, from sinful men, but more importantly he took the punishment from God for your sins.
