Fire can be life-giving, providing comfort and warmth in a fireplace, but it can also cause great destruction when it spreads beyond its boundaries. Sex is much like fire. In the next section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus confronts the powerful force of human sexuality and the destructive power of lust in our hearts. However, the gospel brings good news: Jesus doesn't shame us in our sexual brokenness but seeks to heal us, enabling us to flourish in His Kingdom.
