Jesus, the Righteous Messiah

Our Lord Jesus Christ was a righteous Man. He also taught his disciple how to live a life of righteousness. In the gospel of Matthew 5:20-26 he told his disciples, “Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. “You have heard that it was said to the men of old, ‘You shall not kill; and whoever kills shall be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother shall be liable to the council, and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be liable to the hell of fire. So if you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift." One cannot give what He does not have. Jesus was able to teach his disciple how to live righteously because He himself lived a righteous life. he is indeed the most Righteous Man the world has ever known. To him be glory and praise both now and forevermore - Amen!
