Keep, Do and Teach

 Mathew 5: 17-19

Christ Fulfills the Law

¹⁷ “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. ¹⁸ For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. ¹⁹ Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

 Jesus calls us to remain faithful to him by keeping the Law, living it, and teaching others to do the same.The "Sermon on  the Mount", (Mt 5-7) outlines the "rules" if you wish, or template for what we should be keeping, living, and teaching.  How much better would our "light shine" if we did!  We are looking at this "roadmap" in small daily doses, but it still a lot to grasp, and even more, to put into practice.  Yet we can't let fatigue or discouragement stop us. As St. Marcellin reminded us, "Life is short, but eternity never ends."  Let's not lose sight of that and continue the life-long challenge of sticking to the roadmap, for we know from any road trip into unknown territory, without our map or GPS, we are lost!
