Christians Aren't Supposed To Get Revenge
Christians aren't supposed to get revenge, they're supposed to forgive.
And Christians are supposed to do that for all of the days thet they live.
If you do a Christian wrong, he or she isn't supposed to get back at you.
A true Christian will know that getting revenge is the wrong thing to do.
God doesn't want people to get revenge, he wants us to forgive others.
And God wants people to love one another.
This poem, which is
This poem, which is significantly different than your several funereal poems, may very well be the most important poem that you have posted here at postpoems. You have offered a great testimony to one of the chief principles of the Christian Faith. You are absolutely correct that Christians are not to seek revenge; as the Apostle Paul tells us in Romans 12:19.
You also reminded me, in this poem, that only a Christian has the right to instruct, and question or discuss the behavior of another Christian. As Proverbs 27:17 (which I read in the LXX translation of the Orthodox Church) Iron sharpens iron; in other words, like addresses and assists like when it comes to spiritual matters. And your faith is quite evident in this poem, and this poem calls all of its readers who believe to greater vigilance upon their own behavior.
I applaud you for posting this. I, for one, hope you will post more Christian testimony poems.
