Jesus teaches us that personal vengeance and retaliation are not to characterize His true followers, but rather we are to deny ourselves and trust in the God who judges righteously.

Exodus 3:11-4:17

Upon his call to ministry, Moses delays obeying God and presents several common excuses. For each excuse God graciously responds, allowing us to learn four assurances that pummel excuses and promote obedience.
