Fulfilling the Law
Deuteronomy 4:1, 5-9; Psalm 148; Matthew 5:17-19
Moses urged the Israelites to keep God’s laws, emphasizing that obedience would determine their fate and grant them life in the Promised Land. This message remains relevant today, as obeying the law is essential for a healthy society and our salvation.
Jesus reaffirms the significance of the law in the Gospel, stating that He has come not to abolish the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets, but to fulfill them. As followers of Christ, we must keep God’s laws and encourage others to do the same, that we may possess eternal life.
Let us reflect on our own obedience to God’s laws. Are we committed to keeping His commandments, even when it’s challenging? Do we encourage others to do the same?
Prayer
Father, grant us the grace to obey Your laws and commandments, that we may possess eternal life. Amen.
