An Eye For An Eye

Should we retaliate every time someone wrongs us? Should we seek retribution every time someone offends us or causes us grief or pain? Should you legally pursue payment every time someone wrongs you and you have a legal right to do so? Can we say for certain that the will of God is that we always retaliate for the wrong that is done to us? We will find that it is indeed not the will of God that we seek retribution for being wronged for every situation. Sometimes what is right is not the right thing to pursue. Sometimes justice is not the optimal thing to seek even though it appears to be the just thing.

We are going to examine the law of "an eye for an eye" relative to retaliation. We will then use the information gained to help us govern our lives particularly during those situations when we are wronged by someone else. Our main text will be Matthew 5:38-42.
