LIVE BY THE SWORD, DIE BY THE SWORD

written by Linda Ann Horne Mitchell Hudson

I recently read in the bible how God judges people and how we mortal man should judge on this earth.  God is a forgiven God, and we must honor the Law of the land and the Ten Commandments.  When Jesus was teaching the people about God way of living,  He stated “I come not to change the law but to give the great commandment of all and that is “Love”.

We mortal humans have a tendency to think that a weapon will resolve our problems, and it is in the word where Jesus asked Peter  to put his sword down. Peter drew his sword when Jesus was being arrested and Peter cut off the ear of the High Priest. He stated to him “Put your sword back in its place,” “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword”. Matthew 26chapter 52verse. My point to this, is we have certain thoughts amongst the people to draw our weapon to take revenge in our own hands.  It is God words “Revenge is mines says the Lord”. Yes we do want to make it our business to bring the law in a way that it should be. However, sometimes we take that law in our own hands to far.

God’s word says “For the word of God is living and active,  Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow;  it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. God’s sight Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Hebrews 4chapter 12 verse… When we take judgment into our own hands you only have sent that person or persons to be judge by our Jehovah God. The Almighty God the Creator is the Alpha and Omega of us all.

Being an ex-military wife and know the order of the military we must not be quick about going into war and bringing war to ourselves or our neighbors and the same for our neighbors. In Matthew 10 chapter 28 verse “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.  Rather, be afraid of the ONE who can destroy both soul and body in hell”. 

I will be praying for United States of America and all of us that is living in the A.C. time for we must go forward into the future with Love, Peace, and Serenity for all.
