· by bringing greater understanding and by explaining its full dimensions.

 

Jesus Does This for Six Commands:

1. Murder vs 21-26
2. Adultery vs 27-30
3. Divorce vs 31-32 (what we’re looking at today)
4. Making false vows vs 33-37
5. Vengeance vs 38-42

These commands reveal how your righteousness needs to be far superior than the Scribes and Pharisees (Matthew 5:20), in fact it needs to be perfect (Matthew 5:48) to enter God’s kingdom.
This morning, we look at the issue of making vows. vs 33-37
