Real Righteousness - Matthew 5:27-48

Jesus’ standard of goodness is far beyond us - impossible, in fact. Seeing it makes us recognise our need for forgiveness; and then it calls us to aim higher for true goodness than we ever have before. But he, the one who lived this righteousness perfectly for our sake, is there for us with his love, his compassion, and the power of his spirit, to help us become better people than we have ever been before.
