Eyes, Teeth, Cheeks, Cloaks, and Miles (Matthew 5:38-42)
Jesus’ teaching throughout chapter 5 has set a different tone for what true righteous living actually looks like. His words on retaliation in this week’s passage are no exception. Like the rest of this chapter before it, Jesus’ words here present to us a standard for dealing with insult and injustice that can only be categorized as radical by those looking in.
