The Jesus Way Week 3

In this powerful exploration of Jesus' teachings, we're challenged to look beyond surface-level obedience and embrace a transformative faith. The Sermon on the Mount isn't about abolishing the law, but fulfilling its true purpose - to shape us into the people God intended us to be. Jesus uses the commandment 'Do not murder' to illustrate a deeper spiritual truth: it's not just our actions, but the condition of our hearts that matter.

This perspective shift invites us to see our relationships with others as inseparable from our relationship with God. As we reflect on this, let's ask ourselves: How can we allow Christ to transform our hearts, moving beyond rule-following to become people who truly value and honor others as bearers of God's image?
