Jesus’ non-legalistic attitude towards righteousness has led some to regard him as a rebel and a lawbreaker. However, Jesus declares that he didn’t come to abolish or break God’s Law, but to completely uphold it and fulfil it. As with every seed of sin, we must constantly be uprooting any form of bitterness before it grows into something worse. Then we must go even further and replace this sin with the fruit of love, even for our enemies. In this passage, the challenge for us is where in Jesus’ sermon He commands us to, “Be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect”.
