ATDirect036 Perfect like God? Mt5v48

May 16, 2022    Justin Marbury

We've come to the end of a significant chunk of the sermon on the mount. Jesus has been describing a righteousness that is greater(actually deeper) than that of the pharisees. In verse 48 he summarizes this greater and deeper righteousness as being perfect like the Father is perfect. What does this mean? Is is about sinlessness? Is it about blamelessness? No. It's about the source of the righteousness. The heart.
