One of the best known teachings of Jesus have to do with his instructions on turning the other cheek and going the extra mile. He offered this teaching to his disciples as an antithesis to the old 'Lex-Talionis' or 'law of retribution' that declared 'eye for eye and tooth for tooth'.
So it is surprising to some people to discover that the law which Jesus superseded in his teaching was a law which God had given to Moses. Is this a case of 'biblical schizophrenia'? The world seems to think so.
In this sermon, we come to understand the purpose of the Lex Talionis - and we discover that the 21st Century still lives under the law of retribution.
Until a person has been born again of God's Spirit, it is impossible for them to actually do what Jesus teaches - the practices of the Sermon on the Mount require a new heart!
