Going the Extra Mile: Love in Action (Matthew 5:38–42)
Jesus overturns the principle of “an eye for an eye,” teaching that true discipleship means turning the other cheek, giving generously, and going the extra mile—even for enemies. This challenges worldly justice, modelling God’s mercy and love. Through Christ’s example of selfless sacrifice, believers are called to break cycles of retaliation, trust in God’s provision, and embody a transformative grace that points others to the kingdom of God. We hear four exhortations in these verses: 1. Challenge Conventional Justice (vv. 38–39) 2. Choose Generous Giving (v. 40) 3. Commit to the Extra Mile (v. 41) 4. Convey Christ’s Compassion (v. 42)
Scripture References: Matthew 5:38-42
From Series: "Human Flourishing: A Study of the Sermon on the Mount"
A short, devotional study of the Sermon on the Mount, which highlight human flourishing.
