Greg R. Taylor's books on Goodreads
Jesus doesn’t talk about every detail of life so that we can somehow program our relationships and religious practices. He instead teaches how to fulfill the law in a way of the Spirit, what Jesus and Paul call the more “perfect” way of love that uses wisdom, compassion, and justice in everything. In today’s Journey Bible blog, Greg Taylor discusses how Jesus deals with the thorny issues of divorce and marriage.
A big key that helps understand the Sermon on the Mount is to pay attention to Jesus saying, “For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. In this post Greg Taylor points to six ways Jesus declares that we are to “surpass the form of righteousness” practiced by religious people.
