This is something that could very well happen. What if one day your shopping with your wife and kids, then all the sudden a man starts beating them for no reason. What would you do?? Would you go crazy and swing at the guy or would you be passive and just push him off and make sure he stopped hurting your family?
When it comes to the sermon on the mount by Jesus, he said we should not seek revenge, but that we should leave it to the magistrate to impute justice and punishment. But does anyone here, especially men worry that this could happen to their loved ones. Does anyone often think what they would do in a situation like that?
What if someone was sexually assulting your loved ones, honestly could you hold back your rage? If that happened to my family, im afraid id go absolutely crazy at the guy. But when i think back to what Jesus said, it makes me feel like im not allowed to exercise my own wrath upon the criminal for harming my family, and it is so hard. I know God will punish those evil doers, but what about the meantime while they are on earth. What if the police do nothing? What if they get off scott free? What if there is a risk they will do it again?
People must realise this is a reality in countries where christians are persecuted, and also this could be a reality for the current prosperous nations in the not too distant future.
If anyone can tell me how you would respond or if you have been in this situation, then please reply to this. God Bless
