Eyes of the Adulterers (Matthew 5:27-30)

In today's episode of Tough Texts, Scott and Dan dive into Matthew 5:27-30, exploring Jesus' words on lust and the deeper implications of sin beyond mere outward actions. They discuss how Jesus intensifies the commandment against adultery, emphasizing that even lustful thoughts are sinful, highlighting the pervasive nature of sin and the need for a righteousness that comes from Christ alone. What is Jesus trying to reveal about the law? Is Jesus advising self-mutilation for self-justification? Join us as we discuss these questions and more.
