What happens when two different systems collide?

In this message from Matthew 5:17–20, Jesus addresses one of the most misunderstood ideas in the Sermon on the Mount: Righteousness.

This passage serves as the foundation for everything Jesus will teach next about anger, lust, enemies, and love. Rather than calling for stricter rule-keeping, Jesus reveals a deeper righteousness—one that flows from a transformed heart, not performative obedience.

This message invites us to see the Sermon on the Mount not as a ladder to climb, but as an invitation into a new way of being human—one shaped by grace, obedience, and the life-giving wisdom of God’s kingdom.
