You Heard It Was Said | The Sermon on the Mount
Sermon on the Mount
Fake News & Fact Checkers
Jesus in His Sermon on the Mount was voicing the same concern over Fake News!
Matthew 5:21-33
“you have heard that it was said”
“but I tell you…”
1) Jesus Fact Checks the anti-murder commandment.
angry outbursts for no good reason, the verbal act of
murdering by bullying, and cruel attitudes = killing someone physically
2) Jesus corrects the corrupted understanding by the
religious leaders on God’s commandment regarding adultery.
3) Our world is full of Fake News concerning divorce but again Jesus is our ultimate Fact Checker.
God is more concerned about the intent of the heart and the roots of actions -not just outward actions that go against His best way of living.
If we feel regret, pain, and guilt, God’s law has done its job. Our heart-felt guilt drives us into the arms of Jesus, our only possible Savior.
Put away the Fake News and live in the real Good News!
Following Jesus in His kingdom means acknowledging He did
everything right as our Savior. We then live in response to what He did for us!
