Matthew 2:13
For merely listening to the law doesn’t make us right with God. It is obeying the law that makes us right in his sight.
Life Lesson
Today’s word (Word Of Reflection Daily) begins as Paul talks about God’s judgement of sin. Our final encounter where we go before and meet our creator as affirmed in John 12:48 which says, “But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken.”
In meditating over today’s passage the thought which comes to mind is not only knowing but more importantly doing God’s word. In other words, it is not enough to just know, we need to obey. Moreover, doing/obeying God’s word shows the depth of our faith. For seeking to please him and desiring willingly to align our lives with his will and ways shows what truly is in our heart. Furthermore, wanting to please him shows our gratitude, appreciation, thankfulness and love for all he has done for us.
Hence, my take away today is knowing, acknowledging and remembering Matthews 23:2-4 which warns against hypocrisy, ““The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.”
