    The disciples ‘reacted’ to the behavior of the Samaritans by wanting to harm them: Bad for bad, tit-for-tat. And is it not true of us today too? But what did Jesus say to His disciples and us today about it?

    It is commonly believed that God 'judges' people today, and He does that by causing good things to happen to people doing good things and causing bad things to happen to people doing bad things.

    This belief is nothing new and seen in Job, the oldest book of the Bible. Every use of the word 'judgment' referring specifically to God in the New Testament is regarding salvation and His eternal punishment for those who reject Jesus as Lord and Savior. Receiving Him is the only way to ...read more
