Chapter 5 is the centre point of Matthew’s presentation of the sayings of Jesus, particularly as it relates to the Law. I hope you are as taken by the words and authority of Jesus as I have been.

God’s Word has a crazy way of flipping our thinking upside-down! Whether it is Jesus declaring that the meek will inherit the world or being commanded to forgive our enemies, God’s way of living is drastically different than the world’s! But, when we obediently follow God, He promises us something this world never can: a blessed life.
