2 Cor 6:1-10 / Matthew 5:38-42
The "Enter" key is just one of the many keys in the keyboard of the PC set up or in the keyboard of a laptop.
Besides the fact that it may be one of the most used keys, it is also a powerful key.
When installing a program and prompted to press the "Enter" key, that one stroke of the key can have an almost irreversible effect, whether for better or for worse.
Yet with that, a computer can run smoothly and effectively, or on the other hand, it will get infected with a virus and cause hours or days of headache and frustration.
So as much as we have to be very careful when pressing the "Enter" we also must decide whether to press it or not.
In the gospel, Jesus taught about non-violence and forgiveness.
So as much as there is an instinct in us to go for an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, hitting the "Enter" key would certainly infect our heart with anger and resentment; there will be no peace and happiness.
Yet Jesus is also offering us the path of non-violence and no resistance; there is another choice of forgiveness and charity.
Choosing to "Enter" the truth of Jesus would bring us peace and joy, and it would also pave the way for reconciliation and understanding.
Pressing the "Enter" key is just one simple action; making a choice of revenge or forgiveness is also one simple act.
But the consequence is great - for better or for worse.
