The Mosaic Covenant was conditional and temporaryโforeshadowing the new covenant that Jesus inaugurated. So, how does Jesus want us to live in his new kingdom? Do the ten still apply? I went looking for the equivalent or the greater command in Jesusโs teaching and example and in the whole New Testament. Hereโs what I found:
New Covenant
Matthewโs Woes: How Terrible It Will Be For You
Jesus confronts the religious leaders on their hypocrisy with eight divine indictments, calling them pretenders, frauds, play-actors, and cold-blooded snakes.
Beatitudes: Well Off Are Those in the Kingdom
Jesus came to earth to usher in a new kingdom. And he announced the themes of this kingdom in his Sermon on the Mount. It begins with a list we call the Beatitudes because the Latin word for blessed is beatus.
