We dismiss the Savior's teachings about turning the other cheek and going the extra mile by parrying that these hackneyed concepts are impractical. But did Matthew 5:39-42 have something else in mind when preaching nonviolence? Ralph Waldo Emerson said “peace cannot be achieved by violence, only by understanding.” In this episode, we explore the concept of a participatory propitiation, an opportunity extended to us during the Millennium to undergo the same experience through which our Savior passed in the Garden of Gethsemane. Such a shared experience could bring about a harmonizing of hearts and a Millennial peace.
