Eye For An Eye 


“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a
tooth for a tooth.’
But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps
you on the right cheek, turn to them the other also.”
— Matthew 5:38–39 (NIV)


Message:
Jesus was not canceling justice — He was calling us higher. The old
law, “an eye for an eye,” was meant to limit revenge, to make sure
punishment matched the offense. But Jesus introduced a new way —
the way of grace.
He taught that forgiveness is stronger than retaliation, and mercy
carries more weight than vengeance.
When we let go of the urge to strike back, we leave room for God’s
justice and His healing.


Story:
Years ago, two farmers lived side by side. A fence divided their land
— and their tempers. One morning, one farmer’s cow broke through
the fence and trampled his neighbor’s crops. Furious, the neighbor
vowed to get even.
But his wife quietly said, “Let’s do something different. Let’s bake
him a pie.”
Though reluctant, he agreed. When the angry farmer received the pie
instead of an argument, he stood in silence, ashamed of his own
bitterness. The next day, he came with wood and tools and helped
repair the fence himself.
Mercy won where vengeance would have only deepened the divide.


Closing Thought:
The world teaches “get even.”
Jesus teaches “give grace.”
When we choose mercy, we reflect the heart of God — and that’s a
power no weapon can overcome.
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
Romans 12:21
