When we're sued, attacked, or robbed, we are to respond not in kind, but with grace and generosity. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%206:29&version=NIV 2009-08-10T17:18:05-05:00 What would your reaction be if something took the cloak off of your back? Would you give him your tunic as well? That's what Jesus calls us to do. He tells us to proffer our right cheek to someone who has just slapped our left. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt.5.37-Matt.5.39&version=NIV 2009-07-16T15:03:56-05:00 Jesus' teachings were often hard for people to handle, and even more often they were revolutionary. None more so than his admonishment to turn the other cheek rather than to respond with an eye for an eye. http://bibleforchildren.org/PDFs/russian/Jesus%20the%20Great%20Teacher%20Russian.pdf 2009-03-03T16:04:48-05:00 Russian: Jesus says God's people are lights.
