“Not only our eternal salvation depends upon our willingness and capacity to forgive wrongs committed against us. Our joy and satisfaction in this life, and our true freedom, depend upon our doing so. When Christ bade us turn the other cheek, walk the second mile, give our cloak to him who takes our coat, was it to be chiefly out of consideration for the bully, the brute, the thief? Or was it to relieve the one aggrieved of the destructive burden that resentment and anger lay upon us?” GivingJoyTurnsChristWalksDependsEternalCapacitySalvationForgivingLaysCommittedSatisfactionBurdenMilesThis LifeDestructiveConsiderationWillingnessResentmentCheeksThievesCoatsBullyBrutesCloaksTrue FreedomTurn The Other Cheek Author:Marion D.

“We know Jesus taught that if someone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to the left. We know that Mohammed was sacked from his village and stoned at Ta'if, but he quietly left for Medina. If both of these men, beaten, and bloodied-the incarnations of their respective faiths-asked God to forgive their aggressors, then who were today's religious leaders to advocate holy war?” IfsKnowsMenWarTodayTurnsJesusLeftReligiousLeaderTaughtHolyForgivingVillageCheeksBeatenIncarnationSlapAggressorsReligious LeadersHoly WarMedina Author:Eliza Griswold
