In this podcast, I explore Matthew 5:20 and the profound meaning behind Jesus’ call for justice: “Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter the kingdom of God.” I trace the evolution of human justice—from the law of force, through generosity and chivalry, to the ideal of equality—and show how Jesus’ teaching challenges us to go beyond worldly hierarchies. True justice, he teaches, is rooted in love, treating every human being with equal worth, and transcending fear, power, and social status.
