Vengeance Belongs to the Lord

Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good; after all, vengeance belongs to the Lord. But don't be surprise if he dispenses grace at the moment you know he's about to get revenge for you. Ever thought about the theif on the cross. Being a theif he had to have had victims--he stole from someone, he took things that did not belong to him. Things that the victims probably cherished and needed. But right there when his victims were probably saying "he's getting what he desires "--Jesus granted a place in paradise.  What mercy and grace.
