How many people do you know that do what they say they will do? Times haven’t changed. An honest, dependable person was hard to find in Bible times. The even sadder fact was that the very people who were supposed to be teaching people the Bible made the situation worse by their traditions. Jesus confronted this problem in the Sermon on the Mount. The Old Testament taught that if a Jew took an oath he was to keep his word, not break it. But the scribes and Pharisees misused that teaching to control the people and to make themselves wealthy. There is more to what Jesus said than just their abuse of Scripture, however. This section of Scripture teaches us the simple and yet rare virtue of honesty. When we’re honest, a simple yes or know will do.
