Throughout the sermon on the mount, Jesus explains how the Pharisees had corrupted the law to create an externally-focused view of righteousness. This week, we'll continue uncovering their warped view of conflict, that led many astray.--While the Pharisees distorted the law regarding conflict, they really just reflected the human viewpoint - common even today. We are naturally vindictive, exclusive and eager to care only about those that love us. But Jesus calls His followers to a higher standard.
