Speaker

Zohary Ross

Pastor Zohary Ross continues The Jesus Way: Journey Through the Sermon on the Mount, exploring Jesus’ radical call to love our enemies, reject retaliation, and reflect God's perfect love. Jesus doesn’t lower the standard—He calls us to be transformed into His likeness.

Reflection Questions:

Matt 5:38-42

  1. Jesus came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it. How is the Old Testament law  ‘an eye for an eye’ fulfilled by Jesus words here? 
  2. Read Romans 12:18. In what relationships in your life today do you need peace?
  3. Is there anyone around you to whom you need to extend “second mile” service?

Matt 5:43-48

  1. We have a choice in how we respond to people and circumstances who seem to stand against us. When might it be difficult to extend grace instead of holding onto being “right”?
  2. Jesus loved us while we were his enemies (Rom 5:8-10). Who can you show Christlike love to this week?

Pray: To surrender to the work of the Holy Spirit in making us perfect (mature and complete) and growing us into unoffendable peace-makers.
