In this week’s episode of Words of Grace, Pastor Ben Winslett brings a powerful message from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, focusing on Matthew 5:21–48. Many people misread this passage as Jesus opposing the Law of Moses, but as you’ll hear today, Christ wasn’t criticizing the law—He was explaining it more deeply. This message unpacks the spirit behind the commandments: issues of the heart like anger, lust, vengeance, and hypocrisy. You’ll see how these teachings expose both God’s holiness and our need for grace. Thankfully, Christ not only taught the law—He fulfilled it in full, then bore its penalty for His people.
This message is part of our ongoing series through the Sermon on the Mount. Be encouraged today by the truth that while God’s standard is perfection, Jesus Christ has fulfilled it on behalf of His people.
