Jesus taught a higher law of love, mercy, and forgiveness, which stands in contrast to the Old Testament law given through Moses: “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. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also” (Matthew 5:38-39, KJV) He further declared: “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Matthew 5:9, KJV). Rather than seeking vengeance, Christ calls us to embrace peace and love, reflecting His mission as the Prince of Peace. His teachings invite us to choose compassion over hostility.
