In this episode of The Bible Uncut, R.L Watson responds to
the question of whether Jesus changed the Law in the Sermon on the Mount.
After addressing a listener’s question about the relevance
of the Old Testament for Christians, R.L helps us to understand what Jesus meant by the phrase ‘You have heard it said… but I say to you…’ By comparing
the words of the Old Testament, the words of Jesus, and first century Jewish traditions, he reveals how Jesus was not changing the Law, but rather corrected
misunderstandings and corrupted teachings about what the Law tells us about anger, lust, divorce, revenge and more.
R.L concludes the episode by helping us to understand why Jesus’ teaching is crucial for faithful living today.
