“Don’t strive with a man for no reason,” Solomon says. But, as always, it is Jesus Who gives us the final word when He said . . .
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: but I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Matthew 5:38-41
It’s not practical to turn the cheek, to give the coat, to walk the extra mile. But the genius of what Jesus is saying is that the person who refuses to fight back is actually the person in control of the situation. The teachings of Jesus are radical. Entire societies change when people embrace them.
The subcontinent of India was changed simply because Mahatma Gandhi understood this principle. Although he was not a Christian, he embraced the reality of what Jesus taught. Had the Indians fought back, the British would have wiped them out. But the British themselves were defeated by a force more powerful than they: the force of love.
When your friends, parents, children, coworkers, or neighbors strike out at you, you have a choice to make: to strike back or turn the other cheek. Don’t worry about getting walked on. You’ll actually see the release of a greater power. Love will prevail.
