Jesus wants me to turn the other cheek so I can have victory...

[Thankful 1]

Luke 22:35-38
35 And He said unto them, "When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing?" And they said, "Nothing."
36 Then said He unto them, "But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in Me, 'And he was reckoned among the transgressors': for the things concerning Me have an end."
38 And they said, "Lord, behold, here are two swords." And He said unto them, "It is enough."
(KJV)

Our Lord Jesus' words in red there.

Did you ever wonder why Jesus said that is enough when he was told they had two swords?



Do you really believe two swords would be enough to defend all the disciples?



Do you really believe that Jesus would tell us:

(Matthew 5:39) “You have learnt how it wassaid: ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’ But I say this to you: offer the wicked man no resistance.” And thenturn around and tell us to buy swords to kill the wicked man?



Here is what some bible scholars said about that passage of scripture: “The Apostles have taken the words of Jesus too literally and he closes the conversation abruptly.” Also, Jerusalem Bible: J. The purse to buy,the sword to procure by force the necessities of life. All this is symbolic of a mission in ahostile world.



K. The Apostles have taken the words of Jesus too literally and he closes the conversation abruptly.
