Subject: What's the proper response to injustice? |
Bible Note: With that short answer from him, and from you, I received a great blessing; greater than you know, perhaps. Or perhaps you do know. My initial response was disappointment, since I had been asking for, and looking for, scripture references. But that response caused me to think, and to think of many scriptures. I have a sense that it was the same for you. Though you are obviously widely read, I have also seen that you know the word of God quite well. I suspect that you could have quoted many passages, but you used wisdom and chose not to. I would be very curious to know what passages you thought of, or what the young man in your story thought of. But if you choose not to share them, I will understand. Just rest assured that what you did share was a great blessing me. So, thank you, Doc. |
