When parents look at their children, do they have this dream… “ya know, as long as they just don’t kill anybody, I would consider their lives a success!” No way! We want our kids to flourish… to do well… to live beyond just the minimums of life… to live beyond just not hurting people. Well… God feels the same way about you and I, and that’s where Jesus goes in this next part of the Sermon on the Mount.
