6th Sunday - A (February 12, 2023)

 

Jesus - the Fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets

Matthew 5: 17-37

 

Jesus’ teaching on the law and the Prophets is not about minimalism, or negativism.  It is not about how far I can go before I break a law, or before I get in trouble.

 

Jesus Christ has come to fulfill God’s plan of salvation, as revealed through the law and the prophets.  Therefore, our life is about striving to become more like Jesus.  And in doing so, we share in Jesus’ mission of being the salt of the earth and the light of the world (Gospel from last Sunday).
