Matthew 5:17-48

Teaching date: 05/18/2021

Summary

In part 3 of this look at the Beatitudes, Jesus addresses the nature of God's Law, which had been incorrectly expanded by the rabbis of the time to create an inappropriate focus on keeping the "letter of the law." Jesus instead called on people to follow the deeper spirit of the law, which is far more difficult--in fact, we should understand it to be impossible. Instead we need Jesus' offer of forgiveness to open the door to God fulfilling the letter of the law, and empowering us to better honor the spirit of the Law.
