In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus shows how he deals with the law. Now Jesus continues and shows with the swearing that our words are a sticking point.

Matthew 5:37: Let your word Yes be Yes, and No be No!

Jesus opposes coded speech.

How can you trust and believe someone if the truth does not always come out of the same mouth?

A wise man knows what he says, an another says what he knows.

Silence in the right place and speaking at the right time is real gold.

The ‘yes is a yes’ is a cornerstone that reminds us to treat each other with love and not let others go nowhere.
