Jesus reveals that true holiness begins in the heart, calling His disciples to a righteousness greater than that of the Scribes and Pharisees.
In Episode 14 of our study of the Gospel of Matthew, we continue through the Sermon on the Mount as Jesus challenges His followers to a deeper holiness. Examining Matthew 5:19-30, we explore the role of the Scribes and Pharisees, what it means for our righteousness to surpass theirs, and how Jesus elevates God’s law from mere external obedience to a transformation of the heart. From anger and reconciliation to purity and lust, Christ reveals the radical call to holiness that lies at the center of Christian discipleship.
