><>...JESUS THE CHRIST...><> The law could also punish a person for breaking the seventh commandment, which forbade adultery. But Jesus maintained that the act itself was the outcome of a person's internal thought. Therefore, "whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart" <Matt. 5:28>.

><>...JESUS THE CHRIST...><> Jesus insisted that more is expected of His followers than the ordinary morality of decent people. Their ethical behavior should exceed "the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees" <Matt. 5:20>. "If you love [only] those who love you," He asked, "what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them" <Luke 6:32>. The higher standard of the kingdom of God called for acts of love to enemies and words of blessing and goodwill to persecutors. The children of the kingdom should not insist on their legal rights but cheerfully give them up in response to the supreme law of love.

><>...JESUS THE CHRIST...><> The example of the heavenly Father and the example shown by Jesus on earth are one and the same, since Jesus came to reveal the Father. Jesus' life was the practical demonstration of His ethical teaching. To His disciples He declared, "I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you" <John 13:15>.

><>...JESUS THE CHRIST...><> This theme of the imitation of Christ pervades the New Testament letters. It is especially evident in the writings of Paul, who was not personally acquainted with Jesus before he met Him on the Damascus Road. Paul instructed his converts to follow "the meekness and gentleness of Christ" <2 Cor. 10:1>. He also encouraged them to imitate Him as he himself imitated Christ <1 Cor. 11:1>. When he recommended to them the practice of all the Christian graces, he declared, "Put on the Lord Jesus Christ" <Rom. 13:14>. Throughout the New Testament, Jesus is presented as the One who left us an example, that we should follow in His steps <1 Pet. 2:21>.
