Sears

"You have heard that it was said: You shall not commit adultery," Matthew 5:27.

Jesus goes on into the heart of the matter to say that whoever lusts after a woman has already committed adultery. Yeah. Whoever looks at a woman with lust. Done deal. In the heart. God's not playing righteous games. Jesus isn't either. He went around preaching: Repent! The kingdom of God is an existential threat to the whole world and to rotted hearts.

We meet with a brother or sister today, carefully. And together we give thanks for God's discipline that sears in order to purify.
