The Spirit of Truthfulness and Love (5:33-48)

The Spirit of Truthfulness and Love (5:33-48)

1.  How would your family and work life be different if your "yes" had always been yes and your "no" had always been no?

2.  There is a debate as to whether Jesus is teaching pacifism in this portion of the sermon.  Was Jesus a pacifist?

3.  How do we reconcile the method of Jesus to deal with evil compared to that of the God of violence as recorded in the writings of the Old Testament?  Hint:  Was the cross violent?
