The Higher Law of Christ's Kingdom | Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness
Some voices today call Jesus a revolutionary — someone who rejected the established order and overthrew the Jewish religious system.
But what if this view misses the point of His ministry entirely? What if His teachings actually required more of His followers than what was demanded by the established order?
Jesus said, “For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.”
Jesus revealed that under the new covenant, the law’s demands were even stricter — but He also brought a message of repentance that made it possible to fulfill that law from the heart. The Apostle Paul would later build on this revelation in his writings, offering a deeper understanding of how the law and grace work together in the Christian life.
