What is the result of choosing to live like Jesus? If we choose to do this, what difference will we see in our lives? In this example, Jesus dramatically compares the life built on His foundation and the life built on a human foundation.

Resurrection Day is the most significant holiday on the Christian calendar. Our forgiveness was secured on the cross, but our hope was assured with the empty tomb. Today, we remember the resurrection and the life it promises.

Anybody can love a person who loves them back, but Jesus expects more of His followers. As the Sermon on the Plain continues, Jesus upends His disciples’ understanding of how to react when they are taken advantage of because of their faith.
