    There are times it’s worthwhile to figure out what Jesus "didn’t mean."

    OPENING: A woman read ahead as we were going through this text and was troubled by the phrase: "do not turn away from the one desiring to borrow from you."

    The Sermon on the Mount is an invitation – to taste and see this God, to join his club and deepen his kind of life skills.
