Matthew 5

Matthew 5 has many commands that Jesus has given us. A few are:

1.       Rejoice and be glad when persecuted. (vs. 12)

2.       Be salt to the world. Just as seasoning makes the best flavors stand out in food, we should stand out from the world by living differently. (vs. 13)

3.       Shine our light to the world. (vs. 16)

4.       Don’t murder. (vs. 21)

5.       Don’t be angry with a brother. (vs. 22)

6.       Don’t commit adultery. (vs. 27)

7.       Don’t even lust at all. (vs. 28)

8.       Don’t casually make vows or take oaths when you know you won’t keep them. (vs. 33-37)

9.       Do good to those who wrong us. (vs. 38-42)

10.   Love your enemies. (vs. 44)
