The Controversial Jesus: Self-defence & Jesus

<p>Self-defence & Jesus In Luke <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENvt_4Vi2Rc&list=PLFb3J9T07Qx9tYZY2PbbzC1v-FZee7Qwt&index=8&t=1356s'>22:36</a> Jesus bizarrely says 'sell your cloak and buy a sword'. The same Jesus states in Matthew <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENvt_4Vi2Rc&list=PLFb3J9T07Qx9tYZY2PbbzC1v-FZee7Qwt&index=8&t=1612s'>26:52</a> that 'those who live by the sword will die by the sword'. How do we make sense of this apparent contradiction? How do we radically love our enemies and defend our loved ones simultaneously?</p>
