March 23 1 Peter 3
Repaying evil with good is not an easy thing to do. This is not the idea of there should be no justice in the world. Rather, it is a focus on justice belonging to the LORD. When people do evil against us it is a reflection of their bad character. How we respond to evil is a reflection of our good character and our trust in Jesus.
This does not mean that we back down from standing from the truth. if people speak against our faith or the truth of the Bible we don't simply stop talking. Rather we must continue to stand firm but doing so with love and respect. If we find ourselves in trouble for what is right we should consider ourselves blessed. This doesn't mean we go looking for trouble, but rather when we face it we don't run from it. Why should we be considered blessed? Because Jesus himself who never did anything wrong in his entire life continued to find opposition despite his perfection and it ultimately led to death on a cross. What did Jesus say on the cross? "Father forgive them for they do not know what they do". That is what it looks like to repay evil with good.
