NPR, “A Victim Treats His Mugger Right”

March 28, 2008

Jesus said, "If anyone would... take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well" (Matthew 5:40). Social worker Julio Diaz takes Jesus seriously.

As the teen [robber] began to walk away, Diaz told him, "Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something. If you're going to be robbing people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep you warm."

If you've ever wondered what the gospel "looks like", I'm fairly certain this is it.
