The heart of God is giving even to the point of being taken advantage of
Uncomfortable
Surely we don’t have to do this, right?
Bruised cheeks, naked, worn out from caring others' burdens and broke.
But if we did an eye for eye the whole world would be blind.
Old Testament passages eye for eye
Understanding the OT
Example Law not an exhaustive list
Not encouraging extreme but limiting extreme
Matt 5:38-42
Don’t resist the person who is evil?
Slaps you on the face
Takes your clothes
Forces your labor
Takes your money
The heart of God is extraordinarily giving even to the point of being taken advantage of
Personal or public?

Faith = God’s justice

and
Christians with a bruised face, naked, worn out from caring for others' burdens and not earthly possessions look like Jesus on the Cross
True discipleship is not comfortable
But When God Rests On Us We Can Be Like Him
