WELCOME! This week at Christ the King, Jesus continues His magnificent Sermon on the Mount. Teaching us, His disciples, He pivots now from the description of the perfection of God’s Law and to how the Law is actually to be kept. Perfectly! "You, therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Yes, we must be like Christ Himself (True God!) Even as we are sinners in a sinful world. Turn the other cheek, give the shirt off your back, go the extra mile, give to the needy every time, love your enemies, pray for them! How are we to accomplish these tasks? Well, not by simply trying and relying on ourselves. That’s for sure a recipe for failure and resentment against a loving Father and merciful Savior. Instead we heed the prompting of the Holy Spirit in the Word of God and in our hearts and in repentant faith rely on Jesus Christ alone who alone did all the Law perfectly in our place. In that freedom we actually do keep the Law and live for Christ. Christ is working at Christ the King - Come Join Us! Comments are closed.
