“The best revenge is not to be like that.” —Marcus Aurelius.

When you have come out of a spiritually abusive environment, it becomes easy to focus on the wrong they did. This is especially true when it may have been pointed out time and time again, but either it is swept under the rug and ignored, or when you get someone who can do something about it, it is only halfway dealt with. This becomes frustrating, and once again, you can focus on what they did wrong, how they sinned against you. We can definitely see the marks of a spiritually abusive environment here in Matthew 23, and we will see some more as Jesus condemns them. Still, for today, we will focus on ourselves and what Jesus instructs us to do to be different from these kinds of environments. I’m Ben Johnson, now let’s get biblical.
