Thought for Friday February 27

If you, O Lord, mark iniquities, who can stand?

my soul trusts in his word.

Let Israel wait for the LORD.
If you, O Lord, mark iniquities, who can stand?

 

Matthew 5: 20 – 26  You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment.  But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment,

Is Jesus’ standard too high for me?  Would I prefer a simpler Old Testament set of rules?

Action:  Pick a number between one and ten (inclusive).  Got your number?  Now, read the commandment that goes with that number and ask yourself how Jesus would ask you to live it.
