Whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also


Matthew 5:39
But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 

This is an incredibly thing for a person to do in the natural self. It is similar to the teaching about going the second mile. However, may teachings of Yshua do seem to contradict the natural thinking. The spiritual way of life is higher and is the truth and Yshua's teachings are ultimately a benefit for us, it is definitely the way that pleases God. A commentary once said that Yshua's teachings are about doing things which are not our duty, and also that we cannot imitate Yshua, His nature is either in us or it is not.
