Sojourning Under the Sun: Sabbath Conforming: Murder (Matthew 5:21-26)
/Christ continues to instruct the disciples on the mountain regarding life in this kingdom.

Christ goes through the command to murder which we might think is pretty easy to obey. I mean there are a lot of people who have gone through this life without taking another human life. Our temptation might be to skip over this command and to move onto a commandment that is probably a little more challenging. So, what is the real challenge for us not to murder someone?
