"If someone sues you and takes your tunic, give them your cloak as well."

—Jesus, Matthew 5:40

I don't know about you, but this makes my inner justice-alarm start sounding wildly. “Wait. What?! Something’s taken unfairly and you’re saying give more?” Jesus' command here clearly represents an injustice. The items were taken wrongly. The situation is unfair. And yet, Jesus words couldn’t be clearer. One item taken? Offer two.

The essence of this wrong isn't hurt of humiliation, it's cost. What's been done to us costs us dearly, and we're required to offer even more? How does this bring the Kingdom of God?
