Introduction
Today we are continuing our series through the book of Matthew… Sermon on the mount… Section on the Old Testament as addressed by Jesus.
Review: Two weeks ago, when we were last in Matthew, we began this section on how Jesus calls Kingdom Citizens to live in light of the Law and the prophets.
Jesus now begins applying his teaching on what it looks like that He has fulfilled the Law.
He gives 6 examples.
Each is one is a law from the Old Testament, which He just finished explaining was still fully the authoritative Word of God.
I want to give the rest of Chapter 5 some context.
6 OT commands,
He doesn’t negate them but expands them
Some are superseded by the kingdom, not because they are invalid but because they never get to that place (Divorce and oaths)
This does not contradict Jesus’ earlier statement that the OT is still valid because He is not negating the Laws but making them no longer needed.
I. Jesus has the authority to apply, expand, and properly interpret the Law (21-22, 27-28, 31-32, 33-34, 38-39, and 43-44)
II.
The command not to murder has always meant not to hate (22)
III.
The issue of murder, hate, and unjust anger is so serious it is better to reconcile than to worship God (23-24)
IV.
For the sake of everyone involved, reconcile quickly (25-26)
For an illustration of this, turn to 1 Corinthians 11
