Matthew 38-42
Love Your Enemies
“Here’s another old saying that deserves a second
look: ‘Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.’ Is that going to get us anywhere? Here’s
what I propose: ‘Don’t hit back at all.’ If someone strikes you, stand there
and take it. If someone drags you into court and sues for the shirt off your
back, giftwrap your best coat and make a present of it. And if someone takes
unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more
tit-for-tat stuff.
