Matthew 5:21-37
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I don’t like Jesus. What I mean is sometimes I don’t like what Jesus says! Today’s gospel lectionary from the Sermon on the Mount is one of those tough texts. No beautiful beatitudes here! No salt and light compliments in this passage! Instead, what we heard read is a series of radical, revolting revisions of the traditional laws of God’s people by Jesus!”
