Them's the rules

Описание: 🎙️ Them’s the Rules | 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Matthew 5:17–37)

In this episode of UTG at Work, Deacon Mike reflects on Jesus’ powerful words from Matthew 5:17–37, where Christ makes it clear: He did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. As Jesus moves from the Beatitudes into the commandments — addressing anger, adultery, divorce, truthfulness, and more — we’re confronted with an uncomfortable question: Do we really accept the rules that come with following Him?

“Let your ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ mean ‘No.’”

In a culture that often resists authority and prefers self-made spirituality, this Gospel challenges us to examine whether we are forming Christ in our image — or allowing Him to form us. Deacon Mike explores why rules are not opposed to relationship, but flow from it. Just as love in marriage comes with commitments and boundaries, so too does love for Jesus Christ.

Whether you're navigating leadership, workplace ethics, or simply striving to live your faith with integrity, this episode invites you to reflect deeply on obedience, discipleship, and the freedom that comes from loving Christ on His terms — not ours.
