How Jesus Teaches Us to Live Differently
In a thought-provoking sermon this week, Greg Beechaum, Jr., unpacked the Sermon on the Mount, focusing on some challenging teachings of Jesus that call us to live with integrity and love, even when it’s tough. Through Jesus’ teachings, Greg highlighted the importance of letting our actions align with God’s character.
Jesus advised that we shouldn’t swear by anything to prove our point since we don’t control what we swear by, such as heaven or earth, which belong to God. Instead, our honesty should be evident in simply keeping our word.
Moreover, Jesus’ teaching to love our enemies and go the extra mile reminds us that this radical love distinguishes us as His followers. It’s all about showing God’s love through our actions, no matter what the circumstances.
This powerful message urges us to reflect on how we live out our faith in daily interactions. By embracing this love, we illuminate God’s grace to others.
