Like murder, adultery starts in the heart but it is fed by the lust of the eyes. Internet pornography is the main example and Christians must take serious steps to avoid it.
Jesus taught that murder begins in the heart. We must be vigilant to keep our hearts from harboring anger and when others offend us we must settle matters quickly.
In this passage, Jesus affirms the holiness of His eternal Word--which He did not come to abolish, but to fulfill--but the emphasis is on relationship and not religion.
Radical teaching about radical living -- In these verses, Christians are simultaneously convicted by our failings and inspired by His confidence in us to accomplish His purpose.
Jesus is all about relationships. He chose for His first miracle to turn water into wine at a wedding in Cana. In this act, Jesus proclaims the year of the Lord's favor in which we enter into a relationship with God by grace and not by fear.
We need to ask God to help us to communicate and to be students of communication. Good communication requires honesty, gentleness, empathy, and thoughtfulness.
