Insight

by Chaplain/ LAC-T Counselor Jeffrey L Johnson

🎙️ The Insight Introduction "Welcome back to The Rectitudes: From Character to Conduct. If the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-12) revealed who God has blessed—the 'poor in spirit' and the 'pure in heart'—then the Rectitudes are where the rubber meets the road. These are the external commands of Jesus, describing not who we are, but what we do with the transformed character God has given us. Jesus takes the law of Moses and brings it from the public square right into the hidden chambers of the human heart. He doesn't come to abolish the standard, but to raise it, showing us true righteousness.
