Matthew 5:34-36
From Eden on, it’s been Easy– and Wrong– for Us to Presume Authority and Privileges to which We Have No Proper Claim
“Do Not Swear at All …
- Not by heaven (God’s Throne)
- Not by earth (God’s footstool)
- Not by Jerusalem (the Great King’s City)”
But I tell you, do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.
He Didn’t Say, “Keep it to a Minimum.” He said, “Don’t Swear at All.”
