A Slap in the Face


In Iranian media the government of Iran describes their missile attack on military bases in Iraq as, “A slap in the face delivered to America”. At this point in time, because no Americans were killed, President Trump has not retaliated to the attack. It’s not lost on me that, figuratively speaking, America may just be turning the other cheek. Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also” (Matt 5:38-39 NIV).
