Advent Reflections,Dec.16,11,Mt.5:17-20

In today's Gospel, after reminding his listeners that  He  has come not to destroy the Law but to  fulfill it, Jesus tells them that those who follow His  teaching will be considered great in  the eyes of God. What is  important in our life is our determination  to follow  the will of God and to live according to the  teachings of Christ. Once we begin to keep Jesus  in our heart and become loving and forgiving, we become blessed  with peace  and joy in our life. As long  as we live according to the teachings of Jesus,  we don't have to be afraid of  anything in our life.
 What is needed is a conversion in our heart. Titles, positions and opinions of people do not mean anything in life.
What gives  us  joy  is our willingness to live according to the teachings of Jesus.  Our life should not just be similar to the life of those people who  have  not known  Jesus Christ. We who  have known Jesus should be more forgiving,  loving and helpful.
