1. During this session, God reminded me that I can go the second mile in the area of:
- personal insults
- legal attacks
- civil regulations
- needs of neighbors
2.I understand now that I should not resist hurtful action by others, but these as opportunities to display the power of Christ to them.
These are a few examples of the challenges to go the extra mile which goes perfect with our verse how do we respond when turning the cheek. You not only turn your cheek but go the extra mile. When you sit and think about the time period this was addressed during Roman rule when the Jews were oppressed and forced to carry the Roman soldiers supplies.Of course we looked at what Christ did going the extra mile for us. As always our hearts were directed to Christ and we were challenged in so many ways.
