š āJesus didnāt say ignore the slapāHe said transform it.āIn this eye-opening youth camp message at week 3 of Ā āØ@pineywoodscamp4496ā©Ā , Pastor Jon Groves unpacks Matthew 5:39 and calls students to respond like citizens of the Kingdomānot the culture. When someone wrongs you, do you react like the world⦠or reflect your Savior?
š Matthew 5:39 (KJV)āBut I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.ā
š„ Jesus doesnāt call us to be passiveāHe calls us to respond in power and purpose. Not everything deserves your reaction. But everything reveals your character.
š Key Takeaways:What you do when youāre wronged shows who youāre becoming.The Kingdom of God is not about revengeāitās about redemption.Youāre not just a reactor. Youāre a reflection of the King.
