In today’s Gospel, part of his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus
does not speak of replacing the law of the Old Testament.
He goes beyond it. He obliges his followers to work at
being holier than even the strictest of Pharisees. But the
work is not accomplished by following a religious “law”, it
requires growing in love for other human beings. Followers
of Jesus know they are required to be good stewards of
others. In what way will you exercise good stewardship
over other people this week?
