Pastor's Perspective with Reverend Jo White

Children are sometimes our best teachers. I’m sure you’ve noticed that when the window has been broken how quickly some children want to find out who did it, to point the finger of blame; to see the culprits squirm and get a really good punishment. Some adults can be like this too. They want those responsible hunted down. (If they have done wrong in the eyes of the law they should be apprehended.) Revenge prompts them to want those responsible to feel the full weight of the law. I do wonder sometimes if these folk would be happier if we went back to an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
