In this life so many of us try to get revenge in various ways for hurts and injuries. It is very difficult not to return hurt for hurt or wrong for wrong, but we are expected as Christians to allow God to do His work.
The dialogue below is from the 1959 Academy Award winning movie Ben Hur which I wrote about in an earlier post.
Judah Ben-Hur: I must deal with Messala in my own way.
Balthasar: And your way is to kill him. [pause, Judah looks at Balthasar]
Balthasar: I see this terrible thing in your eyes, Judah Ben-Hur, but no matter what this man has done to you, you have no right to take his life. He will be punished inevitably.
Judah Ben-Hur: I don't believe in miracles.
Balthasar: Your whole life is a miracle! Why will you not accept God's judgement?
Vengeance is God's work and he will deal with those who commit wrongs and injustices. Read about God's revenge on the link Desiring God.
