God's Auto Correct - Blessing For Curses



Ezekiel 25:1-7

1.Describe the situation that is being painted in these verses.  What is it that the Ammonites were doing and why is their behaviour so repulsive to God?
What comfort is in this text for those who are mistreated, even while under God's discipline, as they were?

2.In what ways are those who mistreat people whom God wounds short sighted?  Look up the following passages:
Jeremiah 33:6-9
James 4:6
Matthew 12:36-37
Deuteronomy 32:35

3. What is the 'high road' for followers of Christ when we are mistreated?  Look up the following:
1 Peter 2:21-24
1 Peter 3:9
1 Peter 2:1
What do we learn from Christ example that is helpful for us here?
Any stories from your personal life to encourage the others where you took the high road when mistreated and what the result was?
