It is easy for us to become bitter and upset when someone wrongs us, whether it’s when someone  cuts us off when we are driving or when we are treated unfairly at work. But Jesus shows us  another way, the way of love and peace. For when Jesus’s enemies sought to kill Him, He  endured the harm and suffering of the cross and returned good for evil. And in doing so He  shows us how to overcome evil with good. He wasn’t overcome with vengeance when He was on  the cross, but extended grace and forgiveness to His persecutors. He overcame through the power  of love. God continuously offers God’s grace to Christians and evildoers even though we do not  deserve it. We need God’s grace to overcome evil through the power of love.
Even when you think someone may deserve a negative response for an action, choose instead to  respond positively.

Followers of Christ, we need to overcome hatred with love. It is easier said than done. But it is  our Christian responsibility to show this grace so people will see the mercy and love of Christ.  And even if we fail to follow this command, we can always come back to the foot of the cross in  repentance and receive His grace to keep living in the image of God.
