Love Your Enemies, but Carry a Sword

In the series finale of, "Why is THAT in the Bible," we take a look at a passage that is not often cited or preached on - Luke 22: 35 - 38. Jesus has told His Apostles (and all His people) to love their enemies, to expect persecution, and to turn the other cheek. But in this Luke 22 passage, He instructs His Apostles to obtain a sword. In fact, if they don't have one, they should sell their cloak to buy one!

What does this passage - and others like it, tell us about Christians owning guns, using deadly force to defend themselves, those they love, or their home? How should we respond to being bullied or being emotionally abused? Join us and find out the answers!
