“You Have Heard That It Was Said” Give Your Cloak as Well
We continue our journey towards Christmas with the next teaching of Christ about radical reconciliation. When the world lashes out and we feel the sting of attack, we are to respond with words and actions that transform hate into peace. Jesus’ teachings are in stark contradiction to the ways of the world, but only breaking the pattern of vengeance can set us free to live into the harmony of redemption.
