Matthew 5:33

Matthew 5:33

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

The Law required that oaths made to God be kept. Jesus is going to challenge the entire system of oath-swearing and call for a simpler, more radical honesty.

Memory phrase: Keep every promise you make

Talk about it: What does it mean to make a really serious promise? When have you kept a hard promise?

Prayer: God, help me be someone who always keeps their word.
