Isaiah 11:4
He shall strike the ruthless with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.

By the grace of God…Isaiah the prophet was able to speak of the coming of Jesus about 700 years before Christ’s birth. Who would have thought at the time that the coming Messiah would not use violence and power to defeat the “ruthless” and the “wicked”? Jesus would use words and non-violent methods. He would use love, mercy, forgiveness and compassion. This is the model the Son of God gave us to deal with adversity and evil. Do we follow it?
