Thought for Monday June 15

The Lord has made known his salvation.
All the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation by our God.
Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
break into song; sing praise.
The Lord has made known his salvation.

Matthew 5: 38 – 42 Jesus said to his disciples: "You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on your right cheek, turn the other one to him as well.


What am I more likely to use as my guideline “an eye for an eye” or “offer on resistance”? Was Jesus serious when he said this?

Action: Identify some evil in your local community and find a way to address it without “fighting back."
