Red Letters: The Elevated Way of The Righteous - Pastor Josiah Elias

faithchapelsd

Jesus raises the standard. When He mentions how He came to fulfill the law not to do away with it, He also raised the standard of how the righteous ones are to live. He gave us His righteousness which made us completely righteous as He is righteous. Through one man’s sin all became sinners — Adam. Then through one Man’s obedience, we were all made righteous — Jesus! Now, in this elevated state of righteousness we’ve got to act different. Jesus finds His stride in the sermon on the mount taking the listeners on a journey of discovering this new elevated way of living with many examples from what the law said and now what He’s saying.
