This message from Maathew 5:38-42 challenges us to break the cycle of retaliation by responding to wrongs with mercy, generosity and sacrificial love that values people over possessions. By living this way, we reflect the heart of Christ and become a living exampe of God's love and holiness in a world desperate for grace and reconciliation.
