The righteousness God is looking for is far greater than just an outer obedience to his commands. In this and the next few sermons we'll see that Jesus raised the bar for all who want to be righteous. Jesus starts with what seems like to most of us an easy command not to break - the command to not murder. But quickly Jesus will turn to behaviors we often don't think much about which he says all deserve the same ultimate punishment as murder - eternity in hell.

What are these less obvious sinful behaviors and how can we ever obtain this level of righteousness? We'll see.
