As we continue our journey through the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus keeps challenging areas where it’s easy to reflect the values of this world rather than the values of the Kingdom of God. Last week, He addressed the ways we use our words, calling us to be people of our word who don’t need to resort to manipulative practices to lend weight to our words.
This week, Jesus will switch the focus to how we respond when people use words or actions in an offensive manner. Rather than retaliating in an effort to save face, Jesus will call us to lay down our right to be offended so that we can respond redemptively. In our current cultural climate, this is a message we all need to hear.
