Scripture: Matthew 5: 17-19
17
“Don’t think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I didn’t come to
destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For most certainly, I tell you, until
heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke
shall in any way pass away from the Torah, until all things are accomplished. 19 Whoever,
therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do
so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and
teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Reflection:
Most
of us, have a tendency to think in absolutes. That before the new can start the
old must be dealt with, perhaps disposed of. Jesus asks us not to think of
endings, but of new beginnings. Notice also that the doing is before the
teaching. We need to live (or practice) our beliefs if we are to teach them
honestly. It is our actions, the deeds we do, that reveal to those watching,
and learning, just how much we really believe the words we speak. Let us not
forget that hollow words will echo painfully in a fractured world.
