Jesus.

The way of the world is to battle for supremacy.

To battle against rivals.

To battle against evil.

But this gets us nowhere.

It merely embroils us in endless conflict.

A cycle of aggression and revenge.

But Jesus shows us the way.

He says not to battle against evil but to turn the other cheek and return love for hatred.

This breaks the cycle of violence and addresses the fear on which violence is based.

This is why Jesus is called the Messiah because it is his teachings that will save the world.
