Bible, Women & Bathrobes Episode 9

Sermon on the Mount part 5

Summary

Tamara and Amy discussed Jesus' teachings on fulfilling the law in Matthew 5:17-22, emphasizing that He didn't destroy the law but rather fulfilled its true purpose. They also explored the fulfillment of the Law of Moses in Jesus Christ and the importance of living and teaching the commandments by how we behave as outlined in the Sermon on the Mount. Later, they discussed the impact of words on individuals and society, emphasizing the biblical concept of 'Raka' and how words can build up or tear down. They also shared ways to manage anger through faith, encouraging listeners to approach God with their anger and replace it with peace and clear thinking.

Main Takeaways

• From Amy, “Do I destroy? Or do I build? What am I doing that builds when I leave?... When I leave, do I leave someone better? When I get up off my knees, I am always better, because he's a builder. He's not a destroyer.”
• From Tamara, “We can emulate the commandments when we have Jesus by our side. .. Me plus Jesus can be kind. Me plus Jesus can curb anger, me plus Jesus, and can be that Peacemaker. Alone? Not so much. And to give ourselves that grace, that with him, we can do those things and become a better person. And it's just little tiny steps every day.”
