I really would encourage you to read this remarkable post by Sister Laurel M. O' Neal at Notes from Stillsong Hermitage. I shan't spoil it by extensive quotes, but Sister's concluding sentence will give you a sense of the wonders in store for you!
How ever it is we work out the application of these examples [Matthew 5:38-42] from Jesus' world in our own, we are being asked to witness to a love which goes beyond anything the world has ever known apart from Christ, and to demonstrate this with a freedom and sense of personal dignity which is deeper than anything the world can give OR take from us.
