SERMON INFO
Introduction:
Some of our greatest temptations to DO WRONG come to us when we KNOW we have been DONE WRONG.
The flesh desires to get even.
The flesh desires to respond to others in the way that we have been treated.
We said this morning that the scribes and Pharisees approached righteousness in a way — they read and applied Scripture in a way — that baptized worldliness into their religious system.
All the sins of their world, sinful anger, sexual immorality, a low view of marriage, and deceptive communication, were being excused in the name of God.
And so was the desire that the natural man has to seek his own vengeance.
Payback is what the natural man does.
"I'm simply treating you the way you treated me."
"If you don't like this, then maybe you should think about the way you're treating me."
"I don't get mad, get even."
"You better think twice, because you don't know who you're messing with."
You hear these kinds of responses from people.
ALL OF THEM SPEAK OF TIT FOR TAT.
Tit for tat — "An English saying meaning 'equivalent retaliation.'"
Jesus addresses that attitude in our verses.
WE ARE REMINDED, BY THIS 5TH EXAMPLE, THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT JUST DISTORTED BY A SUPERFICIAL READING OF SCRIPTURE, BY REDUCING THE DEMANDS OF SCRIPTURE, OR BY ADDING TO THE ALLOWANCES OF SCRIPTURE.
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS DISTORTED WHEN WE MISAPPLY THE SCRIPTURES.
Righteousness is distorted when we take a truth meant to be applied in one realm, and then WRONGLY apply it to another realm.
That is the kind of distortion represented in this 5th example.
The scribes and Pharisees used the misapplication of Scripture to justify sinful responses that characterize lost humanity.
