The main idea of Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5:38-42 is that we should trust the Lord to vindicate us for our wrongs.

This passage has been one of the most misunderstood portions of the Sermon on the Mount, resulting in some strange interpretations and practices.

Does this mean we are to be doormats who give up all rights?

Does this mean we should never use or endorse violence in any situation?

Does this mean that we should be pacifists and not serve in the military or law enforcement?

Listen and find out as Dr. Sean Cole explains this passage in detail.
