Matthew 26:52-54
New International Version (NIV)
“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?”
The power is not in the sword of men. Using the weapons of this world will only invite more trouble for all men. God's way is not like man's way of dealing with all the affairs of man. God's way is found in God's word. God's Word is Jesus Christ His Son. God's way is in His beloved Son. God's eternal way is fulfilled in His Son. The Lord Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life of God. These many aspects of the divine nature of Christ must be formed in you. But, how can these be formed in you, if you do not obey His word. You must obey Christ in order that Christformation occurs in you.
