Life can feel like a rush-hour intersection where the traffic lights are merely a suggestion, collisions in our relationships happen even to the best of us, and sometimes someone drives straight at us on purpose. This message turns to the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5), where Jesus sets the old rule of an eye for an eye against his own call: turn the other cheek, go the second mile, love your enemies. The preacher shows that this is not a naive formula for every situation but a wisdom pattern that takes discernment to apply, and that such love does not come from gritted teeth but from being a child of the Father. Listen if you are carrying a hurt and do not know how to answer it.
