Loving One’s Enemies

Matthew 5:40 “And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.”

It’s not worth it to harbor an attitude over small property, just like it’s not worth it to get upset over small insults.

Matthew 5:38-39

38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[a] 39 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.

These things are petty and are tiny in comparison to advancing God’s kingdom.

  1. Yeah! That verses is not telling us to get beaten twice or just by being slapped. It teaches us to be patient in each and every situation we find ourselves even if things get tensed.

      People have to have a thick skin to be cops, teachers, parents and many other things. This whole thing is not a foreign concept to people.
