Sermon on the Mount E15 – In Matthew 5:38-42, Jesus offers wisdom from the Torah about retaliation, justice, and nonviolent resistance to injustice. He references a series of laws in Exodus 21, Leviticus 24, and Deuteronomy 19, all of which contain the familiar language of “eye for eye, tooth for tooth.” Jesus reveals the surprising wisdom within these laws, using real-life scenarios that would have been familiar to oppressed Israelites living under Roman occupation: turning the other cheek, giving your cloak, and going the extra mile. In this episode, Jon, Tim, and Michelle discuss how these actions can open up our imaginations for boldly standing against injustice in creative, nonviolent ways.<a href="http://bibleproject.com">View more resources on our website →</a>Timestamps <ul><li>Chapter 1: Cultural Background of “Eye for Eye” (00:00-20:45)</li><li>Chapter 2: The Meaning of “Do Not Resist” (20:45-28:13)</li><li>Chapter 3: Turn the Other Cheek (28:13-39:20)</li><li>Chapter 4: Give Up Your Coat (39:20-45:30)</li><li>Chapter 5: Go the Extra Mile (45:30-01:01:00)</li></ul>Referenced Resources<ul><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gospel-Matthew-Socio-Rhetorical-Commentary/dp/0802864988">The Gospel of Matthew: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary</a> by Craig S.
