Episode 289 - They Do Not Know the Law

XVII Sunday after Pentecost

10 days ago

The commandment is clear: love God with all your heart, soul, and mind. But in this moment, it becomes clear that the experts in the law — the very ones who tested Christ — have never kept it. They know the letter, but not the lawgiver. They quote the prophets, but cannot see the one of whom they speak. The truth stands before them with breath and flesh, and they call him a devil.

We are warned: theology without love is dead. Faith must take form. Zeal is not enough. Words are not enough. Truth must be enfleshed, made manifest in devotion, obedience, and the vow paid in love. This is not a new commandment. It is the first, and it is everything.

The ones who knew the most were the furthest from Him. What might we not see, even now?
