Principle: A disciple of Jesus lives out the words of Jesus.

“You have heard it said,…

But I say unto you…”

I believe that Jesus was establishing a point by reiterating these two statements six different times in Matthew,  Chapter five. Throughout the course of our life we have heard many things. A lot of what we have heard has helped to form our present value system. Not all of it is good and some of it is not true.

The essence of becoming a disciple of Christ is to allow “what He has said” to supercede everything else we have “heard which was said” previous to hearing Him.

“If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed.” (John 8:31)
