No one likes to be attacked. It is an evil that brings with it a justified response. Yet Jesus is teaching a radically approach to injustice. Jesus reminds his disciples that it is the governing authorities that have the responsibility and right to dole out justice and to protect the people. In no way does God permit His people to take God's law (Leviticus 24:17-20) into their own hands. Instead Jesus reminds his disciples that although judges and governing authorities have the right to seek justice, we are to wait patiently with the injuries suffered in attacks from another. Citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven are to allow God's rightful justice to be issued as needed rather than for individuals to take God's Law into their own hands.
