When we exercise our personal right to retaliate - or “justice” as we like to call it - against someone who has sinned against us we enter into their world - a kingdom dominated by darkness. However, when we follow Jesus by exercising our responsibility to love someone who has sinned against use we invite them into God’s world - a kingdom of light.

Matt 5: 38-42
You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.
