Change The Rules
The reason Jesus looked like a rebel to the people around him is that he had the ability to change the rules. He got back to the heart of the matter and the spirit of the law. The religious leaders of his day were experts on knowing how to look exactly like the godliest people in town, but only on the outside. Jesus changed their current day rules of Judiasm into a standard of the heart that would live forever. Jesus knew that the heart of the human problem was the problem of the human heart. He changed the rules, then changed their hearts to match. Come and experience the new rules and the new heart of Jesus! Matthew 5: 22, 28, 39, 44 But I have added to that rule…and tell you that if you are only angry, you are in danger of judgment! But I tell you: that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. But I tell you: Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you…
