The High Road

'An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.' Mahatma Gandhi

In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught; '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 someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.'

As we hold ourselves to a higher standard and take the moral high road, through God's guidance the world will take note and will follow suit...and peace will finally triumph after nearly 6,000 years...as heaven descends to earth for eternity.
