It is no secret that there was a lot of injustice against the Indiginous people. Where people live together there is injustice and often violence. Wars were fought in the name of religion…
What did Jesus live and teach?
If one hits you on one cheek, offer up the other! This is what he preached and lived! When Jesus was arrested, Peter, full of anger, cut off a soldier’s ear. The Son of God lived the love of the enemy even in the most difficult moments of his life. He perfectly reattached the cut of ear to the soldier’s head. That was his way of life which was questioned by the religious elites.
Jesus’ message is for everyone. He took the punishment we deserved. The righteous paid for our mistakes and created the only option for reconciliation with God!
And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.
Luke 6:29
How do you treat your enemies?
