b'\\u201cTurn the other cheek\\u201d is suuuch a \\u201cwell known\\u201d passage but it\\u2019s so often quoted out of context. What else might Jesus be trying to teach us that we haven\\u2019t seen before? In this episode, Fr. Shay and Brian explore how this passage might inform activist work and even interpersonal dynamics.\\nReferenced in this episode\\n\\nJesus & Nonviolence: A Third Way by Walter Wink\\nThe Good Place\\nLive episode with Sarah Ngu from Q Christian Fellowship Conference\\n\\nLuke 6:27-38\\n\\u201cBut I say to you who are willing to hear: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.\\xa0Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you.\\xa0If someone slaps you on the cheek, offer the other one as well. If someone takes your coat, don\\u2019t withhold your shirt either.\\xa0Give to everyone who asks and don\\u2019t demand your things back from those who take them. Treat people in the same way that you want them to treat you.\\u201cIf you love those who love you, why should you be commended? Even sinners love those who love them.\\xa0If you do good to those who do good to you, why should you be commended? Even sinners do that. If you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, why should you be commended? Even sinners lend to sinners expecting to be paid back in full.\\xa0Instead, love your enemies, do good, and lend expecting nothing in return. If you do, you will have a great reward. You will be acting the way children of the Most High act, for he is kind to ungrateful and wicked people.\\xa0Be compassionate just as your Father is compassionate.\\n\\u201cDon\\u2019t judge, and you won\\u2019t be judged. Don\\u2019t condemn, and you won\\u2019t be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good portion\\u2014packed down, firmly shaken, and overflowing\\u2014will fall into your lap. The portion you give will determine the portion you receive in return.\\u201d\\n\\n\\n \\n \\n \\nPhoto by\\xa0Timothy Eberly\\nThe post Interpersonal Dynamics & Activist Strategies \\u2013 Luke 6:27-38 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
