“His
teaching made a deep impression on
them because, unlike the scribes,
he taught them with authority.”
As Christians we believe
that Jesus is the one above all others
who can teach us about God. And the
God that he reveals to us is a God
of infinite love and compassion. At
times we, as the Church, move away
from this God and create a God of
fear and judgement. Our responsibility
is to move back very firmly to the
God of Jesus. We also believe that
Jesus is the one above all others
who can teach us about the meaning
of human life. He teaches us very
clearly that human life is about love.
We make it about wealth, or importance,
or pleasure and we have to constantly
move back to pinning our hopes on
love: in marriage; in family life;
in our life with one another in our
faith community. This is becoming
more and more important as our society
changes with such speed and can leave
us without roots.
