We're continuing on this theme of Jesus reversing our thinking, really taking the teachings of His time and turning them upside down. Jesus dives into the root matters of three distinct topics: adultery, oaths, and retaliation, challenging the altered religious teachings of His day.
On adultery, Jesus emphasizes the true intent of marriage as a lifelong commitment, highlighting that even lustful thoughts equate to adultery in the heart. He speaks on the destructive nature of lust and urges us to maintain purity in our thoughts and actions.
Regarding oaths, Jesus teaches the importance of being a person of your word. Instead of swearing by various things, He advocates for simple honesty — let your 'yes' be 'yes' and your 'no' be 'no.'
On retaliation, Jesus challenges the old notion of 'an eye for an eye,' urging us not to retaliate but to show love and forgiveness. He explains the importance of leaving judgment to a third party, such as our judicial system, and ultimately to God.
