When Fair Isn’t Enough

In this episode, we wrestle with one of Jesus’ most radical teachings from the Sermon on the Mount: “You have heard it said, ‘Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you…” Together we talk about fairness, retaliation, and why revenge so easily disguises itself as justice. From everyday annoyances to life-shaking injustices, how do we respond? Is turning the other cheek weakness, or is it a deeper strength? Join us as we explore Paul and Silas’ midnight worship in prison, the cultural background of “eye for eye,” and what it means for Jesus to call us beyond proportional payback toward a life anchored in grace.
