We are still with a sermon series on the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus gave His followers extended instructions about life in the kingdom of God. In this Sermon (MT 5: 17-37), Jesus reveals that God’s law always aimed at the heart. The law in the Old Testament says, “You shall not commit adultery.”
Jesus affirms it when He says, “if a man looks on a woman lustfully, he has committed adultery with her in his heart,” (MT 5:28).
Our motives and desires determine the sin. It is in our minds that sin is developed. Therefore, we need to control our minds. The root is at our mind. We need to purify our thoughts and actions daily.
Lord, help us to see our brothers or sisters as you see them. Help us to love them as you have loved us, with humility and generosity, without counting the cost.
