Knew Rights
The Knew Normal, Part 5
Generally speaking, there are two types of people when an injustice or hurtful word is hurled our way. Hard, impulsive people that seek revenge and retaliation. And, soft, gracious people that absorb the blow and seek to build rather than destroy. Which are we? According to Jesus, which should we be?
“Shock absorbing people instead of demanding their rights, build relationships.”
Scripture:
Matthew 5:38-42
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
