How indebted we are to the Jewish people for most of our morality, so much so that it is often referred to as Judaeo-Christian morality! Jesus is drawing on his Jewish roots (Matthew 5:17-37) in the Sermon on the Mount when he tells us to look more deeply at the commandments and avoid the anger that leads to murder and the lust that leads to adultery. This morality has influenced our present-day profoundly.
