“Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court.  Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.  I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.”

Matt 5:25-26

“Today this would probably mean someone is suing us…By truly loving our adversary, we stand within the reality of God’s kingdom and resources, and it is very likely we will draw our adversary into it also.  Things are really different there, and a resolution manifesting the divine presence becomes possible.  See what will happen.  Venture on the kingdom.  That is how we ‘seek’ it.

If we do not approach our ‘adversary’ in this way, we limit ourselves and our adversary to the human system and its laws, and we will endure the bitter fruit of it.

To be of kindly or favorable mind toward an adversary or anyone else does not mean to do what they demand.  It means to be genuinely committed to what is good for them, to seek their well-being.  This may even require that we not give in to them. 

Jesus does not forbid us to go to court.  He here gives us a second illustration of how the kingdom heart will respond.  Do whatever you do without hostility, bitterness, and the merciless drive to win.”
