Walking The High Road: Turning The Other Cheek
by Jess Whitehead on March 27th, 2024
In a world often characterized by conflict, retaliation, and “I must get mine” attitude,, the concept of turning the other cheek stands out as a profound and countercultural principle. Rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ, it exhorts Christians to respond to adversity with humility, forgiveness, and grace.
