Jesus, Our Only Hope

Sermon Application Questions:

1. What is your first instinctive reaction when you read Matthew 5:20? How does understanding v. 17 help you rightly understand v. 20?

2. Why do you think Jesus stresses the truth found in these verses before we get to the things he’s about to talk about in the remainder of chapter 5?

3. Are you ever tempted to revert back to a “scribes and pharisees” kind of righteousness? What things in life tempt you that way? What should you do when you face that temptation?
