Examining The Heart - Matthew 5:17-22 | Sermon on the Mount Week 5

Jun 28

This morning we start a larger section of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus describes what TRUE righteousness looks like from God’s perspective. This was very important to clarify since the religious leaders of Jesus' day misinterpreted this AND their misinterpretations had become the mainstream thought of Judaism. These misinterpretations were costing Jews potential entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven. Thus, it was important for Jesus to first clarify that He was opposed to the religious leader’s interpretation of the Law of Moses and NOT that Jesus was opposed to Law of Moses itself!
