These passages can feel intense and even uncomfortable. So how should Christians understand them today? And how do we reconcile those prayers with Jesus’ command to love our enemies?The Pastors explore the difference between justice and revenge, righteous anger and sinful anger, and what it means to entrust our pain to God rather than take matters into our own hands.
