A Radical Standard
Walk Like Jesus - Pt 3 - We may impress people in a variety of ways. But how we spend eternity depends on whether we live up the standard God has set for us. And as Jesus shows in this passage, His standard is much higher and harder than anything this world demands. The rest of the series is really commentary on this teaching.
The Sermon on the Mount is often acclaimed (even by non-Christians) as the greatest moral teaching ever presented. It dares us to dream of the world-changing things that could happen if we began to walk like Him.
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
