Epiphany 7

Matthew 5.38-48

Context

This week we continue in our series on the Sermon on the Mount looking at what is wise or foolish in terms of how we live alongside others.

Common thread: Wise or foolish love? (Matthew 5.38-48)

Jesus focuses more on our lifestyle than our relationships, urging us to a mature way of living based on generous and inclusive love in action.

An alternative thread for adults, All things are yours, is based on 1 Corinthians 3.10-11,16-23.

These resources were first published in Issue 51 January/February 2011.
