I read this commentary from the book "Living the Word " that I would like to share with you. The gospel of Jesus is a gospel of grace. The new law that Jesus gives is not a written code, but is the Holy Spirit who works within us to transform us into God's children. This does not mean that the Gospel of Jesus places no demands on us. As today's Gospel reading makes clear, if anything the new law of Christ is more stringent in its demands than the law of Moses. It calls for an inward transformation in which we are conformed to God's Spirit. Our task is to get out of the way and let the Spirit guide us.
