Wisdom Part V: New Wisdom
from Second on the Mount · host Second Presbyterian Church
"New Wisdom" – Matthew 5:1-12, 38-45 Part V of the Lenten Sermon Series "Wisdom" Sermon by the Rev. Elizabeth N.H. Link from Sunday, April 6, 2025. "'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' This idea was meant to limit the escalation of violent retaliation. It was intended to break the cycle of violence by ensuring the punishment never became greater than the crime. The concept was about seeking true justice. But justice in God’s kingdom brings about something greater than quid pro quo. In God’s kingdom, justice is about restoration and healing. It’s an entirely different way to relate to each other—relationships governed not by power, but by vulnerability and love."
