Resurrection Discipleship | Ascended, Not Avenging
Christ’s Victory Over Death (And Over Our Addiction to Payback)
June 1, 2025
Matthew 5:38-48
Seventh Sunday of Easter
Rev. Teer Hardy
None of us likes to admit it, but we love a good revenge story. We love seeing someone “get what they deserve.” But when Jesus says, “You’ve heard it said, but I say to you…” He isn’t just calling us to be slightly nicer people — He’s flipping the script entirely.
