Jesus turns his attention to our religious practices, and calls certain types of people hypocrites for doing their religious practices to be seen by others! However, Jesus doesn't mean by "hypocrite" what you and I normally mean.

Jesus turns his attention to how we use our words, particularly speaking on the topic of oaths and swearing. He roots his teaching in the Torah, as in previous case studies. He wants his followers to speak straightforwardly and without manipulating others. Jesus moves us in ways that respects the image of God in each human being and God's purpose for humans.

Jesus continues his instruction on how to live according to the kingdom of the skies - the kingdom of God. This time he comments on a raging controversy of his day - the cause for which a man might divorce his wife, according to the Law. As usual, Jesus speaks in a way that respects the image of God in each human being and God's purpose for humans.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus speaks in a way that any of us would be uncomfortable speaking, does he not? I mean, it seems like he is speaking like one who can bring blessing, one who has authority to speak in a way that is like the Torah and the Prophets! Why? How is this credible?
