The first mile ….and the second mile

� In His sermon on the mountain the Lord Jesus Christ says: “And

whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.” (Luke 5 : 41). The commandment of the second mile is a very important one in our spiritual life. Its importance appears as they called Christianity the religion of the second mile. The aim of this commandment is that the faithful gives much more than what is required in order to gain himself and the others.

� The first mile is that the person gives just what is required from him, while the second mile makes love appears in a glorious manner.

� In today’s Gospel, the friends of the paralyzed man were required to “bring (the paralyzed) in and lay before Him (the Lord Jesus)”. Their mission was to bring him in front of Jesus, which is the first mile, but because of the crowd their love really appeared in the second mile “And when they could not find how they might bring him in,

because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him

down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus” the second mile requires more work and much effort but without doubt it gives better result, it gives fruit. If the friends of the paralyzed were sufficed to the first mile then his sins would not have been forgiven nor had he been healed. If a person goes for the second mile he will receive much more than what he asks for.

� The Lord Jesus Christ says in His sermon on the mountain “if you

bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother

has something against you, 24

leave your gift there before the altar,

and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then

come and offer your gift.” (Matthew 5: 24) This means that you remembered that your brother did something wrong to you and he is supposed to come and apologize for you, here my beloved is the second mile, that you go to him and apologize. Whoever goes for the second mile must put his dignity aside in order to reconcile his brother and gain him.
