Your Heavenly Father is
Perfect
Jesus
continues to show us how we can be the salt of the earth and the light of the
world.
Last
week, we could summarize the practices he taught as, “It is not enough to avoid
evil, we must do good.”
Similarly,
today’s Gospel can be summarized as, “Not only should we not take revenge, we
must love those who wrong us.”
That is
the way of God, which Jesus is inviting us to follow. That is the way to become more like the
heavenly Father who is perfect.
Lent begins
this Wednesday, this invitation from Jesus should be the motivation and purpose
of our Lenten practices.
