Today we are reading Matthew 5. In this chapter we read the Sermon on the Mount. “”Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:17-20 ESV In these days of shifting moral tides, everything seems “up for grabs”. What does Jesus say about God’s commands? Do God’s commands change? Does the need for honesty, faithfulness, respect, and contentment change? Does God’s exclusive claim to be the One True God change? God and His ways do not change. You can trust Him. He will always keep His word. May He teach you to do the same! Pastor Tim
