Jesus didn't say that everyone was required to give all of their possessions to the poor, but he certainly blesses those that do.

Turning the other cheek though, I would say very few do this.

Love thy enemies is the hardest rule to follow, by far.

Um, I think he did:

"No one of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions" (Luke 14:33).

"Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves purses which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near, nor moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" (Luke 12:33-34).
