Do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you.

Questions for Life Groups

1. Read Matthew 5:38-42. Does Jesus’ instructions surprise you? Imagine yourself in one of these situations following Jesus’ instructions. What happens afterwards in your version?
2. Read this week’s article titled Non-violence. If you’re not familiar with the Women’s March on Washington it would be good to research what happened by following the links in the citations. The success of their collective action is seen in how the presidential candidates choose their soundbites. What other examples of non-violent protests catch your interest? Can you imagine yourself participating in a cause that inspires you to action? How?
3. How can the members of your group help you this week and on-going to help you to be more receptive to hearing and understanding the Word of God? Pray for each other to have the Holy Spirit bless you with more courage.
