Upside Down Kingdom: Sermon on the Mount part 2

Dr. Will Ryan of Covenant Theological Seminary and Matt continue their series on the Sermon on the Mount and look at Matt 5:17-38. 

Fulfilling the Law and the Prophets (Matt 5: 17-20) 

What is the Law? It’s about bearing God’s name in a wise way and not about statutory or legislative law 

Paul and the Law -Faith and works “of the Law”-  Stop gap thinking Fulfillment The Law was given to Israel as a covenant contract. 

 As New Covenant people we are called to the Law of Jesus which was the heart of the Torah- Love God Love others.  

Anger and Murder (Matt 5:21-26) 

Mishna - Pirke Avot 

Will be in danger of the fires of Hell (Gehenna)  

Adultery (Matt 5:27-30) 

Heb. עַיִן הָרָע, ayin ha-ra; lit., "the eye of the evil" 

Divorce (Matt 5: 31-32) 

Oaths (Matt 5:33-37)
