If we read Matthew 10 correctly, we don’t walk away with permission to dismiss people; we walk away with a call to carry peace into places that may reject us anyway. The Kingdom of God is at hand, and it heals, calms, and freely welcomes those who desire to participate.

Christians dont have enemies, we have neighbors. This is the most misunderstood teaching of Jesus coming out of Matthew 5. Because the call to love our enemies is actually a call to see them as neighbors instead.

Luke 22:36 is commonly used to defend the use of weapons for Christians, but what if Luke 22 actually refutes that claim altogether?
