As parents and caregivers, we want to raise Christians grounded in love. Bedtime Chapel supports you to share a justice-forward, inclusive Christianity with your family.
This week our bedtime prayer services feature Matthew 5 - the sermon on the mount in which Jesus talks about the law. Bad interpretations of Jesus’s teachings can lead to antisemitism. We address this with, the Rev. Dr. Ted Cole, priest of St. John’s JP in this week’s Bible Study.

When you dig deeper into this text, you’ll see how Jesus saw himself as inextricably linked to the law. This doesn’t mean we want to assume an sameness with Judaism we don’t have – but it does mean that we can turn towards Judaism with an honor, respect, and a delight that raises children committed to disrupting the pain that Christianity has caused in the past.
