"An Eye For An Eye Makes The Whole World Blind"

Wow, what a beautiful and truthful quote:

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

As Christians, sometimes we get so caught up in our religion that we forget that some Truths are universal.

Truth is Truth is Truth.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, the Old Testament was the blueprint for another age, another mindset. One that too many in this world are stuck in.

When Jesus fulfilled the prophesies, He did not set aside the law, but He did lead us into a different path of love and forgiveness. Instead of an eye for an eye, He said to turn the other cheek. To give unselfishly. To love one another.

I think Jesus was telling us all to grow up, set aside childish things in order to reach out for His Glory.

We can't afford for the whole world to become blind.

Some of us have to open our eyes so we can see, our ears so we can hear. We have to follow the Truth that's embedded in this world, for all who are willing to follow the long and winding Path.

Some of us have to be willing to see -- and become the People of the Book in the way that God intended.
