One of Jesus' most revolutionary teachings was that righteousness isn't just defined by your outward actions--it also matters what's in your heart. It's not enough to just "do the right thing" if your heart isn't in the right place. In this famous passage, Jesus teaches that from a spiritual perspective, lust is as dangerous as full-blown adultery.
