Our God is a fair and just God. I think that in the old testament, He demanded people to be treated fairly and wanted to punish people who did not treat others with love. HOWEVER, in the new testament, I feel that God has shown us a new way to live, and a kind of justice that comes only by knowing the lamb that was slain for us. Of course, I'm talking about Jesus who has paid for our sins with his life. I think the point Jesus was trying to make in Matthew 5:38 is that we should not worry about punishing the people who sin against us. That is God's job and that day will come. I think Jesus was explaining the message of love, which is the covenant we are called to live by according the the new testament. This is only my opinion. Hope it helps! |
