Favell Lee Mortimer preaches about the true meaning behind 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,' emphasizing that it was a rule of punishment for civil authorities, not a call for personal revenge. Jesus corrected the Pharisees' misunderstanding, teaching that we should endure personal injuries without retaliation, rebuking with gentleness when necessary. The spirit of the command is to willingly yield our rights and focus on our duties towards others rather than fixating on our own rights, leading to peace and avoiding sinful responses to mistreatment. Mortimer highlights the importance of reflecting on our own behavior towards God, who has shown us unparalleled grace despite our ingratitude and disobedience.
