Better Together at Holy Spirit
February 13-17, 2023
Matthew 5:17-20 - I have not come to abolish the law and the prophets but to fulfill them.
In the Jewish tradition there are laws or rules to live by, such as the ten commandments. Jesus tells us that he did not come to abolish, or get rid of the law, but to fulfill the law. Not only should we not steal as the commandment says, but we should also remove the jealousy and desire that comes with the act of stealing. We should not only love our neighbour but love and pray for our enemies as well.
