However, as Christians, we are called to embrace a radical idea that transcends this ancient principle. In this blog post, we will explore the profound message behind the words of Jesus and understand why if we still followed the principle of “an eye for an eye,” the world would indeed be blind. #bgbg2
Responded with Aggressive Love Quote by Martin Luther King, Jr.
