—Matthew 5:17-20

There is a great responsibility placed on teachers of God’s Word. It is important for them to practice what they teach. Jesus saw that the teachers had not been good examples of “walking the talk,” so He said, “Whoever keeps and teaches [the Commandments], he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (v.19). Jesus made it clear that His purpose was to “fulfill” the Law. He would demonstrate how to teach and practice what the Law requires. The moral law (10 Commandments) represents direct commands from God for all people at all times and cannot be changed. Does your walk match your talk?
