The Narrow Way

Mt 5:17-20

 

1) The Commandments of God are hard

“Humanly speaking, it is possible to understand the sermon on the mount in a thousand different ways. But Jesus knows only one possibility: simple surrender and obedience. Not interpreting or applying it but doing and obeying it. That is the only way to gear His words. He does not mean for us to discuss it as an ideal. He really means for us to get on with it” Dietrich Bonhoeffer 

 

2) Jesus came to FULFILL the law
