How do ethical demands of Jesus exceed those required by the law?

Answer:
The main difference between the ethical demands of Jesus and the requirements of the law are that the ethical demands of Jesus go to the motive behind an action. For example, Torah says, "you shall not murder." Jesus, discussing murder, said that anyone who hates his brother is as guilty as if he had murdered him. Or, Torah forbids adultery, and Jesus notes that lust is as bad.
