Did Jesus Break His Own Teaching? (What John 18 Really Shows)

Jesus said, "Turn the other cheek." But when a soldier struck him during his trial in John 18, He didn't turn His cheek. He asked a question instead. So was Jesus breaking His own teaching? In this video, we go back to what Jesus actually taught in Matthew 5:38-39, what "turning the other cheek" really meant in first-century culture (it's not what most people think), and how his response the night of his arrest in John 18:19-23 lines up with that teaching perfectly. We look at what Jesus did do, what he didn't do, and how to apply this the next time someone treats you unfairly without losing your voice or staying silent about injustice.
