Evening: Psalm 103; Matthew 5:13-20
Jesus calls Israelites to be true to their laws – which they forget or misunderstand. Jesus’s new reality invites his disciples to be true to his Way … They too forget or misunderstand. Israel is a revolution to transform the ancient worship of idols; it has lost its way. The Jesus movement is a revolution to replace mere adherence to laws with a deep attention to the Spirit of a new reality; this Jesus movement may also have lost its way. Jesus calls it back now, as then, to its purpose as salt … revealing the flavour of a new reality.
