It's Harder Than You Thought
Katie Kinnison preaching
When Moses gave the people the Torah (everything you need to know about loving God and loving other people), they said, "Sure, no problem. We're in."
Then followed hundreds of years of the people not being able to live up to the agreement. This love thing turned out to be hard. Failing to keep the Law led to awful consequences.
Then in Matthew's gospel, Jesus is this Mega-Moses, an even better presenter of the Torah. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus climbs up there and begins to teach. He explains to people what keeping God's Torah really means.
It turns out -- as incredible as it may sound -- that keeping Torah is even harder than they had thought.
This Love thing is really hard.
What are we going to do?
Come Sunday, and we'll make a plan.
Yours in this whole trying-to-Love-thing,
Katie
