Matthew 5:38-42:
The fifth antithesis concerns the Jewish law of retaliation intended to control vengeance so that the punishment that does not exceed the injury. Jesus tells his disciples that they must not retaliate at all. He offers four practical examples of non-retaliatory actions.
Jesus, sadly everything you tell your disciples seems even more radical in today’s world. When will we learn? I pray for the mind and heart to understand your way and act according to your truth.
