Week 5 - The Journey Day 4
"Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place." Matthew 5:18
Jesus foretells of His death and the new covenant. Do you ever notice how God tells us what He is going to do it before it happens within scripture. Jesus is the new Heaven and the new earth, not until He takes the sin of the world upon Himself and fulfills the law, did these happen. The Mosaic Covenant had been transformed into man's way by man, not what God has intended. Today if we are not careful we can paint God into our image and likeness with our truth as man did in the past. As a matter of fact the devil uses the same play book as he did in the past.
Jesus has this conversation just after the beatitudes which are the spirit of the law: Love. "It was not through the law that the promise was made to Abraham and his descendants that he would inherit the world, but through the righteousness that comes from faith." Romans 4:13
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b

This scripture also speaks of the end of the world and the second coming of Jesus. Every word written within scripture will be fulfilled and it is important that we sit with the Trinity with an open heart. Today we live in a time where the deception is still being played out, where the law is being transformed into man's way and not the truth that it was intended for.
What is God saying to me? I Am in control, listen with an attentive heart, be open to My truth even though it challenges ones way of thinking it is the Truth.
Dear Father, there is much packed within one verse in the Bible if we spend time with it. You have revealed much in this verse that was unwrapped in time. Thank You Lord for taking charge, for showing a deeper truth. Help us Father see beyond the words to see the depth of Your teachings. Prayers for the world being lead astray by falsehoods and the deception of the devil. Give us the strength to do as Jesus did and speak truth into the lies. Thank You Father for this day and all it has to offer. Amen.
Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Protector of Holy Church, Pray for us.
