Scripture: John 1:29 “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" In a world quick to cancle, clap back, and carry grudges, Kingdom people are called to do something different: Stop the Beef and accept the Lamb. Living offended is heavy. It drains peace, divides relationships, and distracts from purpose. Pastor Keith Battle reminds us that offense is a trap designed to hold us in a fence hostage. But freedom starts when we choose grace over grudges. Jesus didn't come to defend Himself-He came to deliver us. He didn't clap back at His accusers-He carried the cross. If the Lamb of God absorbed every offense at the cross, who are we to keep holding ours? Stop the Beef, Accept the Lamb. Let go of what they said. Release what they did. There's no room for resurrection life when your heart is full of resentment. You weren't created to be carry-you were created to be powerful. And powerful people forgive. "Don't take the bait. Drop the weight. Offense can't live where grace takes up residence."

Prayer: Jesus, help me lay down every offense at the foot of Your cross. I release the need to be right, the desire to be vindicated, and the urge to retaliate. Fill me with Your peace, and let me walk in the freedom only You can give. AMEN
