​DAY SEVEN – Wednesday, March 9, 2022
Matthew 5: 38-48
In Hebrew scripture it says: An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. (Leviticus 24:19-20) In those days, it meant vengeance.
Christ’s ways are very different:
1.Turn the other cheek – non violence
2. If sued for your coat, give your cloak, also recompense more than required
3. Go the second mile. Under Roman law, a soldier could compel a Jew to carry his pack one mile. Christ’s way: carry it further, go the second mile
4. Deny not a request to borrow – be generous
5. Love your enemies, not just your friends.
6. Bless and not curse
7. Pray for your persecutors
8. Christ’s way is always love, compassion and empathy
As Christians, we must strive to follow and reflect these teachings.
