Consider Other Options

In a world caught in rivalries, lawsuits, and wars, Jesus refuses to take sides. Instead, he speaks from a heavenly perspective, showing that we must all flee from sin and find refuge in him. Challenging everything that comes natural to us—getting what we deserve, proving that we’re right, and defending our dignity—Jesus teaches us to turn the other cheek, go the extra mile, and settle matters between ourselves. This profound meekness didn’t just mark his teaching—it marked his life, all the way to his death as the silent Lamb. As we walk with Jesus, we learn how to take the “other option” that comes through the Spirit.
