Jesus and the Lustful Eye – Glancing at Matthew 5:28

Jesus and the Lustful Eye – Glancing at Matthew 5:28

  • Semi-Technical
  • Kent E. Brower

Does Jesus teach in Matthew 5:28 that sexual attraction should be viewed as sinful? This article takes a closer look at the immediate context of Matthew 5:28. The context indicates that Jesus is intensifying the application of the Torah. He does not, however, add restrictions on women's clothing. Jesus is holding men rather than women responsible for possible lust.

We do not condemn a proper taking of care, but we desire a moderation that is closer to abstinence than to luxury. John Calvin
