Evening: Psalm 23, 27; Matthew 5:17-20
Many
people think Christianity is about being good to earn love – like,
keeping the 10 Commandments or something. But trying to be good just
makes us ashamed … we can’t do it. Laws are like a prison. Jesus shows,
shockingly, that we must come to the realization that trying to be good
is soul-destroying; we so often fail. We need outside help. That help
is the unconditional Love that gave birth to the Creation. John Lennon
was right: Love is all we need. Being good does not make us loveable.
Being loved makes us good.
