This world is not part of the Kingdom of Heaven.
The world has its laws and its enforcers of those laws - there is also not much righteousness because often criminals with "good" lawyers get away with crime.
I am not the judge nor the executioner and will not take on those jobs - I am a child of God and I am not to judge, nor to murder.
If a person repents of his sin (murder also), God may forgive him but the legal system might not. Jesus was not guilty yet he was executed.
There is little justice on earth, in many cases just vengeance.
In the end vengeance belongs to the Lord, He will repay, righteously - may we be found worthy in that day.
God appoints kings, rulers and governments and He will judge them.
Let us be careful how we conduct ourselves here on earth so we be able to stand in God's final judgment day.
Good commentary! You are correct about the power of words. Words can hit as hard as a fist and yet, can be as comforting and as soft as a pillow.
Jesus Christ, the exact representation of the Father who is Love is just that, love and nothing short of it. When as Jesus are slow to speak and eager to listen, we know the proper words to speak to others and display from our own mouths life giving words, a manifestation of love. The love of the Father and the love of Christ Jesus.
