Grace for your spirit
You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, but I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. Matthew 5:38-39
If we decided to execute judgment like practiced under the Old Law, it would only leave us with a lot of blind, toothless people. If we retaliate on someone throwing rocks at us with throwing rocks at them, we become like them.. They started it and we finished it, but Is that the godly way? Jesus knew that hitting back was not the way to change people. His concept is not hitting back but rather turning the other cheek and going the extra mile. The word of God tells us that "Vengeance is Mine" says the Lord. Since vengeance belongs to God, then it is not our right to take it. Turn the other cheek and smile. God has a better way for us..
