IMITATE HOW JESUS COPED WITH INJUSTICE - Conclusion

 We can also imitate Jesus by entrusting ourselves to "the One who judges righteously." When others misjudge or mistreat us, we trust that Jehovah knows the truth. That confidence can help us to endure unfair treatment because we know that ultimately Jehovah will correct matters. By leaving thing with Jehovah, we prevent anger or resentment from festering in our heart. Those emotions can cause us to overreact, can destroy our joy, and can damage our relationship with Jehovah. - PSALM 37:8.

Of course, we will never be able to follow Jesus' example perfectly. At times, we may or say things that we later regret. (James 3:2) And some injustices may leave us with emotional and physical scars that can be hard to bear. If that that is true of you, be assured that Jehovah knows what you are going through. And Jesus who also suffered unjustly, can sympathize with your feelings. (Hebrews 4:15, 16) In addition to providing us with Jesus' perfect example, Jehovah gives us practical counsel that helps us to deal with injustice. Let us consider two verses from the book of Romans that can help us.
