Don't Give, Pray, or Fast in Public?! (Learn the Wisdom of Jesus' Advice)

"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" is a famous line from ancient law, intended to protect people from disproportionate retaliation. But Jesus urges his followers to refrain from any kind of retaliation and value peace more than vengeance.

How does Jesus unpack an ancient law of retaliation and take its wisdom to a new level? ????️ ????

The first chapter of Ezekiel presents readers with a question: Why is the Temple Presence of Yahweh appearing to a guy by a river in Babylon?

Don’t Make Oaths. Turn the Other Cheek. Love Your Enemies. But Why? • Sermon on the Mount (Ep 5)

Why Does Jesus Compare Name-Calling to Murder?

God’s generous love turns death into life and scarcity into abundance.

Generosity
