We believe that the Sermon on the Mount presents a morality that is superior to the justice proposed by Moses. But then, Jesus himself said as much. He is the one who said that while Moses allowed for divorce and remarriage that he had a higher law, and that while the retributive justice of the Hebrew Testament proposed “an eye for an eye” and “a tooth for a tooth,” that his new commandment was to love our enemies and overcome evil with good.
