Servants or the lowest of the low were slapped by their masters on the right cheek as an insult. When Jesus tells His people to turn the other cheek, He’s telling them to stand up and be treated as an equal. Today, so many Christians run from conflict because they think it’s what Jesus would do. Jesus would fight for the natural rights that He gave the human race. At no time in the Bible are we instructed to roll over and let people walk over us. Christians are not super humans. Just because we follow a great God does not mean we can do it all. We are not called to say yes to every request. We are not called to be the best all the time. We are not called to let people walk all over us. We are simply called to follow The Lord our God, and leave the rest up to Him. That's what makes Him so great, He's got our backs (literally).
