The Radicalism of Jesus' Gospel - Sis. Desi Royal-Woods

9/19/2013

0 Comments

 
Matthew 5:17-48 - Comparing and Contrasting the Old and New Testament versions of the commandments/statues outlined below
Verses 17 through 20 defends His premise
Do Not Kill

 Exodus 20:13

The law states "though shall not kill" (physical death) and will bring forth judgement

Do Not Commit Adultery

Exodus 20:14

Refers to the actual act of adultery



Do Not Swear

Deuteronomy 6:13 / Leviticus 5:4

The law refers to a false oath/pledge


On Retaliation

Exodus 21:22-25 / Leviticus 24:19-20

The law states "an eye for an eye" and  "a tooth for a tooth"

Treatment of Neighbors/Enemies

Leviticus 19:18

The law states to love they neighbor and the religious leaders may have added "hate the enemy" for their own purposes.


 Matthew 5:21-26

Jesus says unjust anger with your brother will bring forth judgement




Matthew 5:27-30

Jesus says that just looking upon someone with lust commits adultery in their heart



Matthew 5:33-37

Jesus says just don't do it and there won't be a chance of it being false



Matthew 5:38-42

Jesus says to turn the other cheek, to go the extra mile and to forgive and forget



Matthew 5:43-48

Jesus says to love your enemy and to pray for those that use you
The law condemns the final act, but Jesus condemns the actions of the heart that lead up to the final act.  Jesus says it's a heart thing. 

If you're accused of being radical because you're a Christian, that's fine. According to what Jesus says here in Matthew 5, that's exactly what it takes...being radical.
