Sermon on the Mount – Revenge & Enemies
We live in a world that is obsessed with our rights. And from a human perspective it makes perfect sense. The only way to be sure that everyone is protected is to focus on our rights – especially when it comes to people who have hurt or wronged us. When our rights are violated we want to take matters into our own hands and get even. But in the sermon on the Mount, Jesus suggests that the way to thrive in His Kingdom is to let go of our rights and to treat even those that hate us with love.
