Welcome to the twenty-second episode of our special series “Through Theology in a Year” on the “Theology Unplugged” podcast. In this episode, we will take a brief look at the fourth commandment before diving into an in-depth discussion on how Christ interpreted the Bible during the Sermon on the Mount, specifically in Matthew chapter 5.

We’ll explore how Jesus highlighted the principles behind the laws, helping people understand that they were often misinterpreting the law by focusing only on its cultural mandates. By examining Christ’s teachings, we’ll see how He urged a deeper, more principled approach to the law, rather than merely fulfilling it in a rigid, specific form.

Join us for this illuminating session as we uncover the true intent behind the commandments and learn how to apply these timeless principles in our lives today. Make sure to catch up on previous episodes to fully grasp the ongoing series.
