In Jesus’ day, the law gave Roman soldiers the right to force any person to carry their stuff for one Roman mile (1,000 paces).
Jesus said, “And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain (two), Mat 5:41. This is like the expression, go the extra mile. Consider the table which compares the first mile to the second mile.
Are you a second mile Christian, who will go the extra mile without being forced to do so?
When you do, people may wonder why, which can then open doors for you to speak to them about how Christ has changed your life.
