Matthew 5:19-20
[19] Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. [20] For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

DEEP SHEET:  Sermon Study Questions
1. Read Romans 3:20 and discuss how the Law renders a guilty verdict.
2. How does Jesus fulfill God’s Law “in his disciples”?  What do Romans 7:22 and 8:4 tell us?
3. Why don’t Christians keep the ceremonial laws associated with the sacrificial system?
4. What are some unhealthy pitfalls when it comes to relating the Law to the Christian life?
5. Who were the Scribes and Pharisees?  In light of Matthew 23:1-36, what was the problem
with their understanding of “righteousness”?
