     | 44,484 views

    Some people refuse to love their enemies because it shows they have standards, that they respect themselves, that they reject bad behavior. It makes them feel God-like. But Jesus said that being "God-like" means loving our enemies. How do we do that?

    Most action movies have some aspect of revenge in their storyline. When the bad guy finally gets killed, I agree with the hero as he says, “The guy was a jerk and deserved everything he got!” Am I the only one? Jesus challenges my thinking!

    Matthew 5 – Part 19 – “BUT THE GUY IS A JERK AND DESERVES IT!” Most action movies I have seen have some aspect of revenge in their storyline.

    Heaven’s High Standard

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 10, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,489 views

    Matthew shows us Jesus as the preacher of the kingdom of heaven. He shows us just how high heavens standards are and how to properly understand the law. Be perfect, like your Father! That’s the whole point.

    Matthew seems to have been written to a Jewish community under fire for their faith. He talks about the kingdom of heaven in ways that suggest how hard it is to enter. The beatitudes begin and end with words that describe hardship and persecution. Why? Probably because that is what those were ...read more

    If you think you do pretty well with relationships, you might want to take a listen at Jesus’ words in this portion of the Sermon on the Mount. We think it is about lust and divorce and promises - but it’s really about making, keeping, and fixing broken r

    We try to be perfect, in the "spotless" sense. But perfection means completion, and is tied to meeting others’ needs rather than achieving our goals. Jesus’ sacrifice was his "finished" accomplishment.
