Reflection Questions

Review the following questions and write down your answers in your own Course Workbook.

  1. Review: In your own words, define vengeance and explain the two options you have when you want vengeance. What must you do to make your desire for vengeance acceptable to God?
  2. Reflect: You may have been shocked that the desire for vengeance is not sinful, but taking out vengeance for yourself is sinful. Describe a time when you either took out vengeance on another person or someone you hurt took out vengeance on you.
  3. Respond: In your life, what person did you want vengeance against the most? What did they do? Why did you want vengeance? How did you handle your desire?
  4. Resolve: There’s only one reason that people don’t choose to forgive others— they want vengeance. It’s understandable, isn’t it? Write a prayer to God fully embracing His promise to take out righteous vengeance on your behalf—and that you will never take out vengeance yourself.
