CUT DOWN . . . . . 1 Peter 3:9 in our sinful
world, it is acceptable to tear people down verbally or to get back at them if
we feel hurt. Remembering Jesus’
teaching to turn the other cheek (Matthew 5:39), Peter encourages his readers
to pay back wrongs by praying for the offenders. In God’s kingdom, revenge is unacceptable behavior. So is insulting a person, no matter how
indirectly it is done. Rise above
getting back at those who hurt you.
Instead, pray for them.
