Vengeance Is God's

One of the most important things that children should learn is that the proper authorities are supposed to make matters right. God gives justice, and He promises that on Judgment Day at the latest justice shall be done.

First, this should encourage the children because they need to know that God will punish those who hurt them.

Second, this should bring discomfort to the children because they need to know that God will punish them if they sin against those around them or against God.

Third, this should teach the children not to fight back. They need to know that God will avenge, so they are not supposed to get even with anyone. They are supposed to turn the other cheek, not because they are letting people walk all over them but because they need to obey God's commandments. God doesn't let them stand as judge.
