In this episode, Craig and Caleb kick off a new series on how Jesus raises the bar of God’s law in a way that exposes our sin and drives us to Christ for grace and mercy. They compare the Golden Rule’s “equivalency” standard from Leviticus with Jesus’ “as I have loved you” standard, then walk through the Upper Room in John 13 to show how Christ calls his people to self-sacrificial love, empowered by the promised Holy Spirit in John 14.
