About this listen

In Matthew 5:38–48, Jesus overturns the old standard of retaliation, calling his followers to love even their enemies and to return evil with good. He teaches that true righteousness is not about demanding justice for oneself but reflecting the mercy and perfection of the Father. This radical love—turning the other cheek, going the extra mile, praying for persecutors—reveals the heart of God and transforms human relationships through grace.
