FIGHT or FLIGHT Jesus introduces a third way: LOVE YOUR ENEMIES! We naturally react to conflict in two ways: FIGHT or FLIGHT Jesus introduces a third way: LOVE YOUR ENEMIES!

But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. (Luke 6:27-29)

TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK GIVING YOUR CLOAK AND YOUR SHIRT GOING THE EXTRA MILE

THE PRINCIPLES OF NON-VIOLENT PROTEST 1. What is the most LOVING thing to do for my ENEMY? 2. What is the greatest GOOD I can do for my COMMUNITY? 3. How can I be most CHRIST-LIKE in this situation?

Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.

But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. (Luke 6:30-35)
