The Law

Matthew 5:17-20

I remember the first time the truth of this passage hit me. It was in the Ecumenical Group at Brookmans Park. This was a group of wise old men, retired bankers and lawyers, people who had seen life and were sharing the results with those who were much younger. Though I am sure they were far too humble and sagacious to put it that way themselves.

Until that moment I thought Jesus had come to do away with everything that the nasty pious Pharisees stood for. Now I know that just like me they were striving towards God but had lost their way. I wish I could read the signposts and always keep on the right road.
