We have been working through the true character of a Christian in our time in the Sermon on the Mount series.

When a man is truly poor in spirit, recognizing his bankruptcy before God, meek, pure, desiring righteousness and a peacemaker—he will be salt and light for Jesus to a lost world around him.

Now, as we turn to this next section of the Sermon, we begin to see that the teaching of the scribes and Pharisees to avoid murder meant they were keeping the sixth commandment; but Jesus lays out to them that they've broken this commandment when they've been angry with another person or called them a fool.

We're going to see again that as James Montgomery Boice stated it: "True Christian morality must arise from the heart; and as a result of this, no one but God (who controls the heart) can provide it."
