Roman law said you were required to carry a certain amount of baggage to another place
Such a law and its frequent use of it cause great resentment among the Jews
Jesus said we should go beyond what our authorities required
Message condemns any resentment we may feel against a legitimate authority
If reform seems necessary, we should seek it - 1 Corinthians 7:21-23
Should be done with lawful means
God demonstrates his own love for us
He gave up revenge, rights, and his energy for us
