Jesus Christ never wavered from that which he came to this world to do. He knew from young on that he was here to do his Father's will. He was tempted and tried in every way, but yet he did not sin. Jesus' perfect life of obedience is our righteousness.

Through the selfish act of a prideful king, God's eternal decree is carried out. Caesar Augustus, once all of his people to register in their hometown, possibly so that he can collect more taxes, through that Jesus Christ is born in a little town called Bethlehem, to a poor family in a stable. Which points to the humble life that Jesus Christ lived, and died, so that his people would have salvation.

God had promised a redeemer in Genesis 3:15. People throughout the Old Testament looked with great longing for this redeemer. Often times they felt abandoned and forgotten by God, but God does not make empty promises. He fulfilled his promise, at the exact time that he had predestined that it would come to pass. God provides the redeemer.

As Christians we have been called to love in a way that is not natural. God has demonstrated for us what it means to love one's enemies. Jesus reminds us that God allows the Sun to rise on the good and evil, the Rain to fall on the good and evil, and therefore as His children, we are to imitate him. As Christians, we must do more than the average people. Meaning, we must love, not just those who love us, but those who hate us, and seek to harm us. When we do that, we are imitating Christ.

Are natural reaction to people when they harm us, is to want to harm them back. But Jesus teaches that as Christians we should not think like that. As Christians we should do things that are out of the ordinary, not reluctantly, but joyfully because of what Christ has done for us.

Jesus teaches us, Christians should be known for their word. We should not have to validate our "yes", or our "no" with people that we know and regularly deal with. We should say what we mean and mean what we say.

Jesus shows us that God's intent from the beginning was that there would be one man and one woman who would be united to one another for life. They would individually die and become one flesh. The implication of that, would be that they should never be separated. The Bible does allow for divorce in a few circumstances, but it should never be the first resort. Each married individual, should fight for his or her marriage, as if their life depended upon it.

Adultery, is not just a physical act, one can commit, but it is also a mental act, one can commit. Many people, my pride themselves, in the fact that they are outwardly moral and operate, but inwardly they might be guilty of immorality. Either we have caused someone to lust, or we are the one who are lusting after someone else. And Jesus says if we do that, we are guilty of adultery.

Jesus demonstrates to us that, breaking the law of God is not just something that we do physically, but it is also something that we do mentally. Murder is something that is done physically but only because it was first done mentally. Jesus strictly warns against bitterness and anger in our hearts. Calls us to deal with them and drastic ways.
