Christ’s admonition to the faithful in Matthew 5:41: "And whosoever
shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain," was in response to
the Roman custom of allowing officers to force others to carry their
load for a mile. The purpose of the biblical principle, similar to the
idea of turning the other cheek, was to make good come from evil. You
can add goodness to goodness by rendering beyond what you are asked to
do. When you truly believe that the habit of going the extra mile is the
only acceptable way to conduct yourself in all your dealings with
others, when you are driven by a burning desire to serve your fellow
man, you will be rewarded both financially and personally.
