Episode Teaching | Jesus on Breaking the Chain of Violence | Gospel of Matthew

0:00 46:24

Is following Jesus really incompatible with violence? John Mark looks into Jesus's teaching about returning evil not with more evil but with good. He wraps up by acknowledging how many of us are resistant to Jesus's ideas on nonviolence, but encourages us to continue to follow and learn from Jesus and not let our conclusions become a source of disunity in the Body of Christ.

Key Scripture Passage: Matthew 5v38-42
