Shepherds Sayings
Jesus, in the “Sermon on the Mount” gave Christians their living orders. He said, “Do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, let him slap your left cheek also. And if someone takes you to court to sue you for your shirt, let him have your coat as well.” (Matt. 5:39-40) Some would say these words are extreme and impractical. Keep in mind that Jesus spoke these words at a time when life was cheap and human rights were unheard of. True, the words of Jesus are hard to obey and often do not seem to make sense, and yet, they call believers to obedience.
