Payback
ABOUT THIS PARABLE
- Concept: Willie, Billy and Jan, the Saturday Payback Club, meet each week to plan payback for each person who was mean to them during the week. This story offers us God’s perspective on how to react when we are wronged.
- Story Origin: Original
- Setting: Suburban American neighborhood
-
Precept(s):
- God would have us love our enemies and repay wrongs with kindness.
- We don’t always know why someone acts the way they do. We need to offer grace.
- When we act with kindness, we often change the life of another person.
- Key Bible Verse: Romans 12:17-19 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written” It is mine to avenge, I will repay, says the Lord.
- Additional Verses Referenced: Romans 12:21
