In this episode we unpack a recurring theme from Jesus’ teachings in Matthew’s Gospel; the idea of cultivating a proper heart motivation behind our actions. Following Jesus is not about following a list of rules. It’s a lifestyle. The Pharisees wanted a black and white list of do’s and don’ts so that they could be sure of their moral goodness. But Jesus calls us to follow Him; to walk in His way and imitate Him. Our purpose is to become more Christ-like, and that’s a full life transformation, not just a list of rules to tack onto our current way of life.
