In this episode of Tough Texts, Scott Keith and Daniel Emery Price delve into two thought-provoking passages from the Bible: Leviticus 24:19-22 and Matthew 5:38-44. In Leviticus, we explore the concept of justice and retribution, pondering how it aligns with the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament. We then turn to Matthew's Gospel, where Jesus challenges us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. How do these seemingly contrasting passages harmonize within the context of scripture? Can love and justice coexist, and what do these scriptures teach us about our Christ for us?
