In this powerful section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus reveals that true righteousness goes deeper than external behavior. It is a matter of the heart. Drawing from a series of striking contrasts, Jesus invites His followers to move from performance-driven religion to grace-filled relationship. We are called not to settle for surface obedience but to pursue wholeness through intimate trust in Christ. This message reminds us that transformation is not achieved by effort but by abiding in the Perfect One, who fulfills the law through love.
