When Grace Replaces Revenge (Matthew 5:38-48)

Jesus continues His teachings about how disciples who live in His kingdom should live. He preaches on retaliation and loving one's enemies. Disciples in Jesus' Kingdom will go above and beyond what is required, being gracious when people insult them, and generous when fulfilling what is expected of them. Jesus also raises the bar with regard to how disciples treat their enemies. Because God forgave and loved His enemies, those far from God, those whom God has forgiven should forgive and love those who have repeatedly hurt them.
