Gospel
Matthew 5:17-19
I have not come to abolish the Law and the Prophets but to complete them
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Do not imagine that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete them. I tell you solemnly, till heaven and earth disappear, not one dot, not one little stroke, shall disappear from the Law until its purpose is achieved. Therefore, the man who infringes even one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be considered the least in the kingdom of heaven; but the man who keeps them and teaches them will be considered great in the kingdom of heaven.’
Reflection
When Christ said he came to complete the law to me it is important to have the element of love. It means Love God with all our heart and our neighbour as we love our self. When we love God and our neighbour we will try to avoid sin for sin is all about hurting God or our neighbour. Do we try to avoid sin because we love God?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus may we continue to show love everyday of our life.
Amen
