Verse: “But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil; but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” – Matthew 5:39
Quote: “When you are insulted, you must not only resent it, but make it an occasion to exhibit the Son of God.”
Chambers refers to this scenario, not attacking when you are insulted, as “the humiliation of being a Christian.” In the natural world, it is only cowardice that prevents a man from hitting back, but spiritually it is the strongest thing to do. It is not up to you to prove if a man is right or wrong, you are to take it upon yourself to do right, and not to cease.
