Plot Twist | Matthew 5:38-42
Jesus often brings unexpected plot twists—and they always require big faith.
In this message, we explore why revenge never satisfies and how bitterness can keep us chained to our pain. Through the story of Amnon, Tamar, and Absalom (2 Samuel 13-18), we see the devastating effects of seeking revenge instead of trusting God.
Key Scriptures:
• Matthew 5:38-42
• 2 Samuel 13-18
• Ephesians 4:32
• Romans 12:17-19
When you’ve been wounded:
Forgive. (Ephesians 4:32)
Hand the offender over to God. (Romans 12:17-19)
Bless the offender. (Matthew 5:38-42)
God’s way may surprise us, but His plot twists always lead to freedom.
