We do not see things the way they are; we see things the way we are. In this teaching, Graham Jones opens the theme of kingdom perspectives by revisiting the Sermon on the Mount, which once felt to him like the Law of Moses Part 2. Rather than lowering the bar, Jesus raises it so high that only He can meet it — and grace proves far more demanding than the Law. Yet Jesus is not telling us to try harder; He is describing how His own life expresses itself in a citizen of the kingdom when we come to Him, die, and let Him birth His life in us. Graham then explores how little we actually perceive: Donald Rumsfeld’s “unknown unknowns,” Sherlock Holmes asking Watson about the steps at Baker Street, and the way we suddenly notice the vehicle we want to buy. We see with the eye, but we perceive with the heart, filtered through culture, memory, pain, and experience. Like a dog trained by an invisible fence that stays away from the boundary long after the power is off, we live within limits that no longer exist. Mission trips often break those fences, and people return bold. God wants to change how we see.
