Jesus' words, known as "the Sermon on
the Mount" (Matthew 5-7), need to be taken as a whole. We're not to pick
out the bits that we like, and ignore the bits that we don't like so
much. We're not to come, looking for "comfort" (Matthew 5:4), if we're
not also seeking for "righteousness" (Matthew 5:6). We're not to look
for peace, if we're not preparing ourselves for persecution (Matthew
5:9-10). We're not to read one verse, and say, "This is great", and then
skim over the next verse, as if it wasn't even there.
