True or False: Grace is harder than Law

[votivesoul]

I see a greater demand under grace, as follows:

"Lord, how many times do I forgive my brother if he sins against me? Unto seven times?"

"No, but unto seventy times seven."

Under the dictates of the Old Covenant, it was eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, life for a life, if blood was shed by man, by man would blood be shed (i.e. capital punishment).

If someone killed a family member of yours, you could pursue him or her, and if you caught up to him or her before they made it to a "city of refuge", you, as the avenger of blood, could exact retribution by your own hand.

But today, if you are struck on the cheek, turn again the other. If you are insulted, reviled, or injured in some way, you are to forgive, and surrender all rights of retribution to God. Even if someone kills your family member, you are called to peace, to release the killer from your desire for vengeance.

If you ask me, all of that is way harder than what was prescribed under the Law!
