Matthew 5 and 6

Hey everyone :)

Sorry I didn't get this to you by Sunday, but hopefully you will be able to find some time for yourself to read through:

Matthew 5-6 (only 6 if you already read 5)

This is all part of the Sermon on the Mount, and it is advice given to his apostles that is meant for all who want to receive celestial glory. We talked about some of the advice that Christ gave so that we can better our lives and live the higher law. What other advice does he give in 5 and 6?
