Sermon on the Mount, Part 21 – Discern Before You Speak

2,000 years ago, our Lord Jesus Christ taught us how we as Christians ought to live. Our Lord never sugar-coats or backs away from tough subjects. Humans are too quick to speak before we think. Jesus commands us in Matthew 7:6 to be careful of what we say to people, discerning first who is open to receive truth: “Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.” Remember, Jesus demands unswerving loyalty to Him and to His Kingdom standards, because only His way produces the abundant life in us.
