Thoughts from the Lectionary: The Sixth Sunday after Trinity

From the Gospel Lesson: St. Matthew 5:20-26

In this passage of Scripture Christ speaks largely of the error of legalism. He points out that one cannot be saved by merely “ticking the boxes” of the letter of the law. He he emphasizes that obedience is not in actions alone but must proceed from one’s heart. On the other hand, salvation is not license to live in disobedience either. The person who’s heart has been set free in Jesus will, empowered by the Holy Ghost, seek after obedience to God’s commandments in humility and love.

So, having been set free from our sins, let us endeavor to conform to the Commandments of God as obedient children of Christ. Just as our Saviour has said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” (John 14:15)
