Retaliation / Love

Pastor Zach Pummill Matthew 5:38–48 April 23, 2023


Sermon Overview

Jesus, Justice, and Retaliation

What do you do when you're wronged? Does revenge free you from those feelings? In this passage Jesus challenges our cultural norms and preconceived ideas about justice, revenge, and love. The Cross gives us permission to be wronged. The Cross says there is not a single wrong that escapes the gaze of God. The Cross says to let go of retaliation and rest in God's justice.
