In Matthew 5:20 we see that Jesus called His follower to live a lifestyle of higher living, not of just following a set of rules, but of inward righteousness. Throughout the remainder of Matthew 5, He lays out 6 antithesis statements that illustrate that calling. In Matthew 5:21-26 He speaks on the heart issue of murder and how that it isn't just an action that we can create with out hands, but also with our hearts.
