Ministry on This Verse

 The great principle our Lord marks in this — whether it is human violence, or the law ever so hardly or wrongly applied — that while, according to the law, you might go one step, according to the gospel you would go two. Grace does twice as much as the law, whatever may be the point in hand. (Remarks on Matthew 5:17-48 by W. Kelly)
 Here there is not only the endurance of that which is positively wrong, but grace that gives more than is asked. (Remarks on Matthew 5:17-48 by W. Kelly)
 And grace is not the vindication of self nor the punishment of a wrong, but the endurance of evil and the triumph of good over it. Christ is speaking of what a Christian has to put up with from the world through which he passes. (Remarks on Matthew 5:17-48 by W. Kelly)
