Understanding the Law

For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:20 NIV

Reflection:
There is the law and then there is an understanding of the law.   Jesus teaches us that we ought to understand the law and the ways of God, to abide by it. While the law says you shall not murder, we are called to understand that the root of murder begins from hate, jealousy and anger and these are not the ways of God.

Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to understand his ways. May Jesus his son be a constant reminder to you of the Father's unconditional Love and may his Holy Spirit enlighten you with wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones:)
