Go the extra mile. For a lot of people that means doing above and beyond. For Jesus it means more than that. Going the second mile means changing the motivation. In Jesus’ time, a Roman soldier could force an Israelite to carry the soldier’s armor & for one mile only. And many were the Israelites who begrudgingly walked that first mile. Jesus tells us to go the second mile & not because we are constricted into service, but because we are compelled by love. Love will always take the long walk.
