What Did Jesus Mean When He instructed Us To Turn The Other Cheek?

[@FaithAndMystery]

God of Wholeness, Heal my mind from anxiety, depression, and all forms of mental distress. Grant me clarity of thought and peace of mind. Surround me with your love and light, casting out all darkness and fear. May I find solace in your presence and strength in your promises. Amen.

[@ProfessorJM1]

Heavenly Father, if you will, please unburden this heart, of one of your sheep. Forgive us all, We serve you, not you, that serves us, Lord...if it's your will, let us go forth, with your strength, compassion, and Spirit, and take your mission and statutes into the world, in all its perfect righteousness, in all its truth and fullness, in a manner, that you, alone, are capable of. We Love You, Lord. Thank You for hearing our prayers. In Your Holy Name, Lord Jesus, King of All Heaven And Earth, Your Will Be Done, Forever and Ever, AMEN. May you be steadfast, and unshakable in your faith. God Bless You All In Jesus Name.

I am struggling with you, my faithful brother. Remember, you're not alone the believers around the world are being tormented. Be at peace knowing the battle is the Lord's not yours to take on alone. I love you, my friend, and we got this .

"Turning the other cheek" in terms of historical significance and the Roman Empire and what it truly meant--- it's just amazing. All this time, I just basically assumed it meant take it and deal with it and ignore them because they're not worthy. But instead, it's a powerful silent statement that not only are we Worthy, we are their equals or better. Simply turning the other cheek while being slapped by a Roman soldier was a profound, strategic, bold and silent declaration of rebellion and declaration that the recipient refused to be degraded. Jesus and His work, never fail to astound me with His depth of meaning to His words. Praise Him! Praise God!

[@KingCinderella]

It was moreso .. like Jesus got slapped right .. and he str8 ATE it ! Like that was weak boy ! I thought you been soldier ? Like that's all you got .. which Gave him another reason to slap him .. through simply doing what he did that forced the man hand in the ganwit .. him being JesusChrist.. in oppose to not giving them another reason screaming "SLAP ME ! " This is what Jesus really really meant for real for real for real . ⚜️KC🕊️

[@BigTexas45ACP]

[@mossbucher9043]

I see so much more. Each moment of this Father & I are talking. He STILL says the church dies for lack of knowledge. If you want to know my perspective, let me know. Thank you for the teaching so I can learn more about being My Father's daughter.

[@aronlelenora9572]

Praise the LORD JESUS CHRIST Name Always Amen 🙏🙏🙏

[@mohammedsuleman580]

The teachings of our beloved LORD JESUS CHRIST is also a shield when it comes to spiritual warfare, when you harbour hate and grudge, have evil intentions onto someone who has harmed you, you leave yourself open to spirits that can latch onto you and torment you.

[@SecretsOfScripture]

🙌🌟 In the depths of despair, I found solace in the arms of Jesus. His love was the anchor that steadied my soul amidst life's storms. Through Him, I found redemption and a renewed sense of purpose. Forever grateful for His unending grace and mercy!

Thanks for a wonderful insight, and clear explanation, for how to comport yourself and behave mindfully at all times! How very important is self control. So easy to slip up! I shall revisit this teaching regularly, so it comes more naturally to mind, when faced with dilemmas ❤😊

I turned my cheek twice from a possessed woman who came up behind me, turned me around and kept hitting me in the face until I blocked her fist with a hard cover book, then she lounged to take me down, but I stood my ground after telling her I don't want to fight her several times between blows.. There was no reason to hit me and she did it to show how tough she was to her 16 gang friends who goated her to hurt me badly. To me, they would finish me if she couldn't no matter how much I told them I didn't want to fight, so I felt I was defending myself from 17 hoodlums out to kill me. I defended myself well and she came out pretty well beatened with black eye and bloody nose. I only had a red cheek. When authorities came to stop the fight, all her friends scattered and disappeared. She ended up in the hospital for treatment. I remember the verse to turn the other cheek, and I did, but two strikes later I realized I had to knock the demon out that possessed her to hurt innocent people like me. I thought they would all gang up and kill me. It would do no good to let her or them get away with it if I let them beat me, and be enboldened to do it again without punishment. My actions that day stopped her from beating others ever again. I believe turning the other cheek can be turned so many times before peace is NOT the solution.

[@dubiousmaximus4201]

self control and most importantly, not to return evil for evil

I was saved from a secret sect/cult I was born and raised in and became a true born again Christian! Praise Jesus!! V a n e s s a ‘ s T e s t i m o n y O u t O f S p i r i t u a l B o n d a g e 💕💕💕💕✝️

[@ricksarazin1379]

I sort of think that turning the cheek the other direction is just saying that when someone offends or insults you just forgive and walk away. Let the good Lord God deal with them. Amen

[@theeternalsbeliever1779]

Christ was pretty clear about what He meant when He said this was to be done when someone strikes you. He didn't say anything about it meaning getting insulted. When someone punched Him or slapped Him, He didn't starting swinging on ppl. We have His own example to demonstrate exactly what He meant by that. God's ppl are not supposed to be violent for the sake of protecting their own egos. That is not the Christian way.

[@MrPatdeeee]

(Sorry for the VERY, VERY long "comment". But I believe it NEEDS to be espoused) Kind Sir...Your great "Title" takes much praying to Jesus ONLY! Because, IF, we do not do that; we will always misunderstand; what the Bible meant. Oh yes. Because satan uses that; to make us believing things that are NOT true! And Proof: we have 45,000 denominations all over the world; each not believing the same "understanding". Sad, but OH so True. Now Jesus instruct "US to Turn The Other Cheek"! And ask 10,000 Pastors; and you will get untold different answers! So I believe Jesus meant: We should NOT do what they do. Just do what Jesus did. Because IF they offend us; Jesus will in... Matthew 18:6 Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it was better for him that a millstone was hanged about his neck, and that he was drowned in the depth of the sea. Now Jesus did not mean just literally: "Little ones". He meant ALL "Born Again Christians" any where. Regardless their age. And He also meant: Walk away. Stop talking, never debate and do not use that "Last Mouth"! That many have. Sad, but OH so true! For IF we do not follow Jesus' commandments; He will punish US, even worse, than what the offender got. Just walk away! And Praise Jesus' Holy Name! End of Story, and I rest me case... ...In any case Kind Sir and Brethren, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN!

[@kristineopsommer]

I have another take that turning the other cheek is to "declare yourself, defiantly, to be your striker's equal." Is there any merit to that? How could it be verified? Thanks so much, and God bless you!

[@peaceonearthpeaceonearth9686]

THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS Matthew 5:27-30 You have heard that it was said, "You shall not commit adultery." But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. Matthew 5:39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. Matthew 5:44-45 I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you so that you may be children of your Father in Heaven. Matthew 6:14-15 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, lord,” will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Matthew 12:36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned. Matthew 13:41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. Matthew 16:24-25 Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me, for whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. Matthew 17:5 While Jesus was still speaking a bright cloud covered them and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my son whom I love. With him I am well pleased. Listen to him.” Matthew 5:48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 19:2 If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me. * John 8:34-35 Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. John 8:47 Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God. John 12:49-50 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken. I know that His command leads to eternal life, so whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say. John 14:6 I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:15-17 If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever, the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. John 14:23-24 Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. John 15:13-14 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. * Revelation 2:23 Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. Revelation 3:15-16 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth. Revelation 3:19-22 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Revelation 12:9 The great dragon was hurled down, that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads THE WHOLE WORLD ASTRAY. He was hurled to the earth and his angels with him. Revelation 20:11-15, 21:27 Then I saw a great white thrown and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. The dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire, for nothing impure will ever enter the Kingdom of Heaven, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Revelation 21:6-8 It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But, the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the lustful, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars, they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death. Revelation 22:14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Revelation 22:16-17 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.” The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

He meant turn the other cheek but then after that, he never said what to do.

[@soapboxearth2]

Far be it from me tk question Jesus. But I have an observation to share. In this evil spiritually ignorant world, to turn the other cheek is perceived as total cowardice and inevitably encourages more abuse. When the abuser has no idea what turning the other cheek means they not only assault you but are disgusted by their perceived cowardice and will hate you more
