Revenge
An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind. (Mahatma Gandhi, Indian lawyer)
That misunderstood Old Testament regulation is the excuse often given when someone has been wronged. Gandhi’s comment is eye-opening, isn’t it (pardon the pun)? Revenge actually accomplishes very little. The OT law was intended to establish limits on retaliation. It’s even better to leave the getting even to God. He does it better.
Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord. (Romans 12:19)
