Command #34 - Deny Yourself
Tuesday Aug 25, 2020
Tuesday Aug 25, 2020
The great moral teacher interpretation of the life and impact of Jesus Christ is surely one of the most naive perspectives ever proposed for such an important historical figure. C.S. Lewis has memorably argued that anyone making the claims Jesus did must either be a lunatic, a madman, or what he claimed to be. It is not merely Jesus' claim to be one with God that is astonishing and revolutionary, however, so too is much of the rest of his teaching. Far from being a traditional "moralist," a great deal of what Jesus said turned conventional wisdom upside-down.

Command #33 - Be At Peace, Reconciled, and United With Others
Tuesday Aug 18, 2020
Tuesday Aug 18, 2020
The enormity of this Command is of such scope and magnitude that it is impossible to overstate. If Love is the first Command, this surely represents one of the most important dimensions of Love itself. Indeed, unity with our fellow man is one of Love's significant visible expressions. If we would "Be righteous," this is where it begins.

Command #32 - If Part Of Your Body Sins, Get Rid Of It
Tuesday Aug 11, 2020
Tuesday Aug 11, 2020
It has been mentioned before that Jesus occasionally uses overstatement and exaggeration to get his point across. This is obviously again the case here. No one seriously believes this Command is to be obeyed literally. None of Jesus' own disciples, to our knowledge, obeyed this Command as it stands, nor did Jesus expect them to.

Command #31 - Be Righteous
Tuesday Aug 04, 2020
Tuesday Aug 04, 2020
The Commands of Jesus seem to come in two broad categories: Those that are straightforward and relatively simple to obey...and those that are impossible to obey.
