Conflict and Confrontation
Holiness
Matthew 26:47-56

You once called me a friend.
However, that relationship has come to an end.
You became disloyal when you gave me a Judas kiss.
I do not want to reminisce about it because the relationship has become remiss.
Nonetheless, I will think about Jesus’ purpose in this.
You see me as your enemy, but I will love you as a friend.
I will return evil with kindness, so evil can’t win.
Getting even is what the world highly recommends.
Jesus wants us to respond in love and forgiveness because we all have sinned.
To understand God’s kingdom’s purpose as peace-seeking, loving, and godly in responding to a difficult situation;
You are to behave like His Son, Jesus Christ, that will bring God glorification and adoration.
