Jesus Reminds You that Love is the Law for Your Life and Your Personal Relationship with Him

MESSAGE SUMMARY:  Prior to the New Covenant of Jesus the Christ, the Law included "an eye for an eye . . .". Jesus, in Matthew 5:38-39, provides the cornerstone of His Greatest Commandment – “love thy neighbor as thy self” when He tells us: “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.”. The Law was for the Judges to help the courts punish people in an appropriate and consistent way. However, Jesus turned the prior teachings of the Law on their heels by commanding that personal relationships be based on love not Law and Justice.

 

TODAY’S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Lust. Rather, I will abide in the Lord’s Perfect Provision. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).
