People, for all sorts of impulses and motivations abuse and harm other people. This is evil at work. This will not stop until Jesus finally triumphs over evil. But today the Lord calls us to "overcome evil with good"; one of his hardest instructions for us to follow. In Romans 12:14-21 Paul tutors us on how we might be able to triumph over evil by preparing for and implementing mercy. We can join our Lord in triumphing over evil.
