Ep. 175 – The Six Antitheses: When Jesus Raises the Stakes
Mass Readings for February 15, 2026
Jesus has just settled his followers on a Galilean hillside when he drops a spiritual bombshell: “You have heard it said... but I say to you.” This episode unpacks Jesus’s radical reimagining of righteousness, tracing how he transforms Old Testament laws—about anger, adultery, divorce, oaths, retaliation, and love—raising the bar far beyond the letter to the very heart. We’ll get up close with the Greek text, discover what a slap on the right cheek really meant, and find out why even a coat and a cloak aren’t just clothes in Jesus’s new world order. If you’ve ever wondered why Christian love means going the extra mile (literally!), you won’t want to miss this deep dive into the six antitheses that reshaped the moral universe. Read more.
