SWORD GUIDANCE
When Jesus was arrested, Peter took his sword and cut off a man’s
right ear. Jesus touched his ear and healed him, telling Peter, “PUT
YOUR SWORD BACK IN ITS PLACE. ALL WHO USE
SWORDS WILL BE KILLED WITH SWORDS” [Mt 26:52
IC]. Although, Jesus had recently encouraged His apprentices to
have a sword for defense, He clearly is opposed to fighting. The
best way to be certain whether a situation would be considered by
God as defense or fighting, is to ask God for guidance. Do you ask
God for guidance?
