Have you ever heard someone encourage someone else to “go the extra mile”? Well, that idea comes from this verse! If passing a Jewish person, Roman soldiers could order them to carry their stuff for one mile. Here, Jesus is encouraging the Jewish people to not stop there, but to go another mile. To double their generosity. The same encouragement applies to us today! We have so many opportunities to use our influence to be generous and go the extra mile for someone else. This week, look for ways to step out and be generous. Go the extra mile for a friend, family member, teacher, coach, small group leader, or someone in your community. Watch how that generosity impacts not just them, but you as well.
