Prayer Prompt before reading MT 5:17-19 Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray well, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father and God the Son are so that I may know who I am.
BUT WHOEVER OBEYS AND TEACHES THESE COMMANDMENTS WILL BE CALLED GREATEST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.” MT 5:17-19
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
Jesus reminds us today that the commandments carry some weight. When is the last time you did a good examination of conscience going through the 10 commandments? Each of us have our favorite sins. We know them well, but do these sins we commit habitually cause us to miss something else that might be leading us to those sins found in the other commandments.
Jesus boldly states, “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.” This comes right after the beatitudes, the way to true happiness (holiness) and gaining eternal life. He then gives us consequences if we don’t keep them.
Sin has its own consequences. There are serious consequences for sin and not following the commandments. Obedience is the first step to holiness and disobedience gave all humanity Original Sin. Basically, it boils down to selfishness and unselfishness. Sin is telling God we don’t care, period.
If we keep the commandments, we will know Christ’s heart. Isn’t that the point of every Lent; get to know Christ’s heart better, more deeply. That should be the goal every day. When we get to know Jesus’s heart (which begins at the foot of the Cross), in His proclamation of the kingdom (Gospels), and especially the belief that He resurrected and all His Words are true, the absolute Truth, we will be ready to fight sin. We will not want to hurt Christ when we really get to know His heart.
His heart is full of sacrificial love. We were never worthy as sinners for a sinless Man to die for us. It would be one thing if we were just. St. Paul says, “He died for us as we were still sinners.” We have a God who is crazy in love with us. A radical love that even loves enemies and sinners who know they are sinning. Why? God is love straight through-Bishop Barron He cannot not love.
This love is compassion (to suffer with), mercy (as many do overs as we need), and forgiveness (unlimited). So, not out of fear but love will we start to turn from our selfish ways and follow these commandments that bring us joy. Obedience requires sacrifice and suffering. Suffering brings joy.
We we born into a battlefield not a picnic field. We have to stop thinking things will get easier or God will take away the pain and suffering. When we give ourselves to God, the battle begins. God is the one who gives us what we need for the battle and the rewards for fighting are eternal!
The Devil puts in our minds that God is trying to take away our fun by following His commandments. These commands are to protect us from the Devil and misery. We need to stop holding on to the things that make us miserable. So, where do we start seeing the commandments for what they truly are?
Pray by just talking to Christ and asking Him for His grace to help you get to know His heart better. Ask Him to give you the grace to love more and the results will be sinning less and being selfless. Be a servant! Become a saint! “But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.” MT 5:17-19
Today’s challenge: Seek Christ’s heart! Be silent and listen instead of talking during prayer. Reflect on Jesus’s message and apply it in one way each day.
Be a servant, become a saint!
#Christian YODO (You Only Die Once; we will live again!)
#GetCaughtReadingtheBible
#GetCaughtSayingtheRosary
“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.” This stood out to me because because it just tells you that things will happen and they do (Jesus being crucified), and only after that happens will laws take place (opening of the heaven gates).
BUT WHOEVER OBEYS AND TEACHES THESE COMMANDMENTS WILL BE CALLED GREATEST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.” MT 5:17-19. Something that stood out to me about this is that Jesus is saying that whoever obeys and teaches the ten commandments they will be called to the kingdom of heaven.
Today’s Gospel tells us Jesus is not here to destroy the law but to fulfill it and if we don’t make others or teach others to do wrong then we will not go to heaven.
Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.”
This part stuck out to me the most due to it stating that, if you do not follow the commandments, you will have a ever so slightly smaller chance of getting into heaven. It helps children understand how important the commandments are, it shows how much we need to make sure we do not break them, or we will break our resting place in eternal life.
what I took away from this gospel is that God gave us the 10 commandments for a reason, and that reason is for us to have a guide in our holy life. The commandments arent just a set of rules, they are there so we know how to live out our lives like Jesus did. Gospel says Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.” which tells us that those who push away the commandments, and disobey will not be called when the time comes, but rather those who chose to live out their lives by the commandments will be called by name when its time.
“Whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be the greatest in heaven.” Everyone is created for something bigger than themselves, we need to be what God wanted for us by living the faith to its fullest potential. We can lead by example and be king to those who aren’t kind to you, be just to those who don’t show justice to you, and pray for everyone, especially those you don’t like you.
This is saying that we need to learn from ours and other people’s mistakes in order to truly succeed in life.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells us that whoever does not follow God’s word will be least in Heaven, and whoever follows God’s word will be called greatest in Heaven. We need to be more open to God and what His plan is for us. If we try to change who we are, we are slowly moving away from Him. If we stay true to ourselves and be who God created us to be, we will be happy with Jesus for the rest of our lives! Jesus made all of us for a reason, and maybe not all of us have figured it out yet. But if we take little steps with Him every day, we will find our purpose and we will grow so close to God!
“WHOEVER OBEYS AND TEACHES THESE COMMANDMENTS WILL BE CALLED GREATEST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.”
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets”. What this means to me is that God sent Jesus down here not to take power he came to save us and he tells us to repent because his kingdom will rise and those who die and have not repented will call be least to his kingdom of Heaven and for those who have repented and prayed for their sins will called greatest to his kingdom.
It was telling me that sin is bad because it pulls us from God’s commandments and God’s commandments are the only good things in life!
Today’s Gospel told me that God doesn’t want us to break the commandments. He wants us to fulfill the commandments and teach others about the commandments. When we obey and teach others about the commandments, the closer we get to God and going to Heaven. But when we break the commandments and that relationship, then we take a few steps back and have to restart again.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus is talking about the commandments that the Lord has made and how that if you break one, and you teach someone else to break one, you will be the called least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But if you obey and teach them, then you will be called the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. Which is why you should follow the commandments and do good, you will be great. You will be loved. And you will be with the ones in Heaven, and they will be proud of you, JMJ will be proud of you, and God will love you even more than he does, because you were made specially in his divine image, and he will be proud and loving of you.
Surround yourself with people who lead you closer to Jesus not those who lead you to this world. For if you lead others astray you will be called the least in Heaven.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus says that whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so
will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven, but whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. every commandment is great and teaches us. And we shouldn’t break any commandments, but were not good we will break them and we will learn from our sin. The only people that are the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven is the Holy Trinity. And we are the least, but God doesn’t want that so He sent his Son to teach us not to break the commandments and to take our sins away so that we will be great with Him.
What really stuck out to me in Today’s Gospel was when Jesus said to His disciples “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.” He’s clarifiying the purpose of the law, focusing on internal intent.
sin has its own consequences if we keep the commandments we will know Christ’s heart when we give our selves to God the battle begins
In today’s Gospel, Jesus clarifies his relationship with the “Law and the Prophets.” He isn’t interested in just following rules for the sake of rules; he is interested in the spirit behind them.
Today we are told that Jesus has not come to replace the prophets but to fulfill them. Untill the end of time no one should ever get passed any onf the commandments. And those who follow the law of the lord will had eternal life in heaven
What really stood out to me was this “But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.” the reason it stood out to me was because I need to go out and preach to my community the commandments so that I can teach other’s about God and also maybe teach myself about God.
In today’s gospel, Jesus is talking to his disciples about how if they break these commandments and speak out about it will be least in Heaven and those who follow the commandments will be the greatest in Heaven. He wants us to be good at that we can reach Heaven and enjoy being with God the almighty father.
Jesus is saying that his mission isn’t to get rid of the old rules from the Bible, but to show everyone how to follow them the right way by living a perfect life. He explains that these rules are permanent and won’t change as long as the world exists, so even the smallest details still matter. He warns that people who ignore the rules or teach others to break them will be less important in God’s kingdom. However, those who truly try to live by God’s heart and help others do the same will be seen as leaders and heroes in heaven.
Jesus said to his Disciples: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets.
I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.” This is telling me that Jesus did not come down to Earth to fulfill our needs but he came down to fulfill our lives and this is really important to know because we cant just ask God for everything and just expect it to show up at our front door, but ask for forgiveness and fulfillment.
The Gospel is saying to not change things for they are supposed to happen. God has come to fulfill the laws and the prophets. He said, “Therefore whoever breaks one of the least of these Commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these Commandments will be called the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven”.
In today’s Gospel just like many others, Jesus clarifies why he came down. He didn’t come down from heaven to heal people, abolish the prophets and laws. He talks about the commandments and how following them will improve our holiness with him. He says that whoever breaks commandments and has others do so they will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. The one who follows them will be called great. This is pretty much a representation of that being richeous is your ticket to the kingdom.
God came not to abolish but to fulfill the prophecies. If we do not follow the commandments, even the least of them, we will be the least in Heaven. If we follow all the commandments we will be called the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. We need to obey the commandments and teach others to follow them too.
The Commandments were put in place to help us. They’re not here to control us but to guide us to Heaven and Jesus. By following the Commandments we can truly live happily. When we live in sin and sorrow we weaken out connection to Jesus and Heaven. We need to follow the commandments to be saved.
In this gospel. he said that he did not come to abolish the law or government, but he came to fulfill his destiny. Everyone thought Jesus would get an army and make his kingdom on earth. But that is wrong he came to save us from our sins so that we can be able to enter the kingdom of heaven.
In today’s gospel Jesus says “Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.” This tells us that though Jesus has come and shown us what the scripture really means and gave us new teachings we must still follow the commandments and other scriptures if we want to get to heaven.
We know that we are sinning so why do we keep spinning and repeating our sins. We need to stop hurting God with our sins.Also he will give us consequences if we keep sinning.We we born into a battlefield not a picnic field we have to stop thinking things will get easier or God will take away the pain and suffering because he will not if you live a sinful life it will not be fun after you die.
In the Gospel today Jesus talks about how he has not come to say that the law and the prophets are wrong but to fulfill the law and the prophets. He also talks about the ten commandments he says “whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.” He tells us that if we teach and follow the commandment will be rewarded with heaven but if we don’t we will be the least in heaven.
I think today’s Gospel told me that the devil is good at hiding things and disguising sin so we fall into his trap of evil.
Today’s Gospel tells you to stay loyal to God if you don’t you will not enter his Kingdom, but if you stay loyal to him he will open up his Kingdom for you.
In today’s Gospel, it talks about what happens if we break the commandments and tell others to do so and if we don’t break it. I learned that in order to be great in heaven and have eternal life, we must obey the commandments. If we break the law of the commandments and tell others to do so, we will be the least in Heaven.
“But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.” If we obey God’s teachings and inspire others to do so then we will join Him in heaven. If people cannot tell that you are Catholic by the way you act then why should God, who sees all, let you into His kingdom. “If being Catholic was a crime would you be a criminal”- Mrs. Barles.
Jesus is talking about how He didin’t come to strike down the highest ones in the law or other enemy cities, but He is saying that he did come to fullfil His Fathers plan or will and to die for our sins on the cross.
“But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.” When we sin we know that we sin, so why do we keep doing it over and over and over again. If we sin we have to own up to it and go to confession. If you sin that doesn’t mean that God audamatically hates up and banishes us from heaven. He still and will always and forever love us even if we do bad things over and over again.
Not every one is going to listen but if you try hard and never stop fighting you will teach the Lord to others.
“Sin has its own consequences. There are serious consequences for sin and not following the commandments. Obedience is the first step to holiness and disobedience gave all humanity Original Sin. Basically, it boils down to selfishness and unselfishness. Sin is telling God we don’t care, period.” This paragraph stuck out the most to me and it’s telling us that disobedience is something we need to avoid and sin is telling God that we don’t care. When we sin, we care about it when we want to go to confession and get forgiveness, but if we don’t want to go to confession that that’s when we don’t care.
what i got out of today ´ s gospel is that Jesus does not want to change the law or prophets. but he wants to fulfill them and help out. he also says that if we break one of the commandments that we would be the least in the kingdom of heaven.
In today´s Gospel Jesus tells us to follow the comandments and we all have a sin that we strugle with so don’make fun of others because we don´t know what others are going though.
This Gospel really makes them examine their intentions, making sure that obedience is rooted with love for God and neighbor rather than fear. This is a great examination of the wrong we have committed against Him.
God is love straight through. He gave his only son, a sinless man, to us so he could die for our sins despite knowing the fact that we will keep sinning. He knows that a large portion of the world doesn’t believe in him and yet he still sacrificed his son for us. He had no reason to do this for us and yet he still did. He wants to know our heart and we should get to know his so that we can get to Heaven and be with him for eternity.
His heart is full of sacrificial love. We were never worthy as sinners for a sinless Man to die for us. this line really sticks out to me because God doesn’t need our sacrifice rather than we need sacrifice. Jesus didn’t need to sacrifice himself for us but he wanted to so we could be free to enter heaven.
“Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.” We’re all called to be the greatest in Heaven. Sin gets in the way of that. If we stop our bad habits and common sins now, we’ll be making it easier for ourselves to get to Heaven later.
BUT WHOEVER OBEYS AND TEACHES THESE COMMANDMENTS WILL BE CALLED GREATEST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.” What this means to me is that to be the greatest is to be a good example by being obedient and following God’s commandments and spreading the good news to others. God doesn’t want us to be prideful though when being a servant of God but to be a humble servant.
“If we keep the commandments, we will know Christ’s heart. Isn’t that the point of every Lent” Keeping the commandments in our hearts are very important, if we know them then they will always be with us helping us. Just when we need help with anything, He will help us. Because we trust Him.
What i got from this gospel is that obedience is the first step to holiness and disobedience gave all humanity Original Sin.
I think in this gospel message Jesus is saying that we were given everything we need to reach the Kingdom of Heaven. The commandments show us the path to get closer to God. But for our salvation to be guaranteed there was one more person we needed. And that was Jesus. Because Jesus died on the cross, we have an even greater chance of making it to Heaven.
“Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven.” We need to find people who lead us closer to heaven. We also need to be the person to lead people closer to heaven. When we surround ourselves with people that lead us away we get pulled away from heaven. when we are called the “least in the Kingdom of Heaven.” that shows we let our sins and accomplishments over come us. we are greater and worth more than our sins.
Something that stuck out to me today in the gospel was when Jesus said “Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.” So on earth we have to be the best versions of ourselves for him. If we make the right decisions on earth we will be rewarded in heaven. And if we make the wrong decisions we will not be rewarded in Heaven. So be the best you there is, it will pay off.
In the gospel today Jesus told the disciples that He did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. He says that if we do not follow the commandments we will be called least in heaven. But if we are kind to others and follow the commandments we will be called the greatest in heaven.
What I think the lord is trying to tell me is that He made every single one of us and he also mad a story for very single one of us. He made a big story for all put story to come together like a big puzzle. Because that is just how much he loves and care for every single one of us even though we made mistakes.
In today’s Gospel, I think God is trying to tell me that we need to recognize that Jesus has truly saved us. He came to fulfill our past ancestors mistakes and ours combined. At that time He is saying He will redeem us and that shows that knows us and loves us. If you met a random person and they said they would die for you how would you feel. Most likely you would be confused, but with Jesus it should be familiar because He loves and we should sense that. He gave us everything and that matters.
“We we born into a battlefield not a picnic field. We have to stop thinking things will get easier or God will take away the pain and suffering”
this really stuck out to me because we all have our sins that we do right? Sometimes we hate those sins but keep doing it anyway. we have to fight for the sin to go away. God cant just take it out of us.(“We we born into a battlefield not a picnic field”) even though God will always be there for us and he will help us all the way through doesn’t mean he is gonna take away our pain and suffering
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets.
I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.” Sometimes, people may often think God only does one thing for us here on earth, or maybe He’s only here to make blessings and Miracles. But He does so much more for us that we may not even know of. He is the reason we are all even here, He created all of us to be here on this earth for a reason, He has a mission for all of us.
The message I got from today’s gospel was that you should always try to avoid sin if there is another option. Jesus said that even the smallest things cannot be passed from the law. To me, this means that I should always focus on the little things and help others to do so as well.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus talks about the laws and the prophets won’t be outlawed but fulfilled. He says that whoever breaks His laws will be one of the least ones and whoever obeys the commandments will be one of the greatest.
In today’s Gospel jesus is telling us if we do not follow not one of his commandments
then we shall not enter into heaven so therefore we have to obey God’s will and follow
the commandments so we can have an eternal life .
What today’s Gospel told me is that when we sin and continue to sin after we go to confession it is like telling God we don’t care about him and that we don’t care that his son died on the cross for us.
What I got from today’s Gospel is that we should obey God. We should follow Him, acting and thinking like Him. Because the more that we think and act like him, the closer we are to being in heaven with the Father.
My main takeaway from the gospel today was that those who follow God’s law will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. If we follow God’s will and law in our own lives we shall surely become one of those greatest. So let us today ask God to help us to do his will, and pray that we might be Holy and become saints.
In the Gospel today, It talks about how God only fills us with grace and peace , If we follow the commandments then we will go to heaven, the golden rule is a big part of this and if we can succeed in following the Golden rule, then we are all set.
Jesus’ entire purpose on Earth was to fulfill God’s wishes. “I have come not to abolish but to fulfill,” this sentence gives further emphasis on that, saying that He did not come to Earth to destroy people’s thoughts and ideas but to make them true.
In today’s Gospel God says “Whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven.” If we do bad things and influence others to do bad things then we are keeping ourselves and others away from God. But if we obey and teach others the way Jesus taught us, then we shall be called the greatest.
In today’s Gospel, we are called to follow the 10 Commandments. If we do follow these commandments, we will be called first into Heaven. Sometimes it is difficult to strictly follow them. They seem so simple, and in practice sound very easy. Do not steal, very simple. Do not lie, sometimes you’re at a crossroads, but very understandable. Do not take the Lord’s name in vain, easy, I don’t curse! But it’s truly not that simple. You will get caught up in predicaments where your fallen human nature and Satan creep on you and tempt you to do what is good for yourself. But you must climb out of the chasm and touch the redeeming light that saves, God. God will save you from the deepest chasms. It takes faith and trust in God that He will save you.
I am understanding that God is giving us the 10 commandments to guide us what we should live by we musnt take this and turn it into something bad like saying these are rules. God gave us free will to do whatever he wants us to do
“Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven.” Today’s gospel teaches us to be a good example for others. Jesus calls us to be nice to everyone and to treat others with respect. He wants us to go to heaven and he calls us to act like him. We should also spread his word.
The commandment Jesus gives us are so great and so powerful. We are so lucky that God has given us commandments our else we would have no idea what’s right and wrong. We have to follow the guidelines Jesus set when he was here but we also have to follow the guidelines he left for us. So that we may be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
” Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Jesus also previously states that he has not come to abolish the law of the prophets but fulfill them. So the 10 commandments are very much still relevant to todays society. But he also means by mentioning that even if you teach other this, you aren’t always going to follow the same rules you teach but blessed be the ones who teach and follow the guidelines they teach as well as those who follow the according guidelines
¨Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven.¨ What I got out of this verse from the gospel is that we must no fall too peer pressure or give someone else peer pressure.
Somehting that stuck with me when i read this is that “Sin has consequences” obviously i knew that but the real reason it stuck with me when i read this is taht beacuase some people go around doing bad things to theyre body and harming themselves when in the Bible it says “your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit” meaning you shoiuld take care of it and cherish your body that came from God beacuse God made you in his image which is perfect anyhing off of you isnt you meaning you wouldnt be perfect sometimes you think i wish i was beautiful or i wish i was taller or shorter. well technically your saying that you dont think your perfect but the thing is God made you so your kinda saying God didnt make you who you are even tho he knew you before you were born. People will sin and sin and say that they dont care cause God loves you but God doesnt love the sin you do. its like having a best friend whom does something that isnt good for them and you ask them please stop doing that i dont like how your harming yourself by doing so and so and they dont listen in the end you might have to cut them off cause those habits could lead to you doing them.
Today in the Gospel Jesus tells us that he is not against the teaching of the prophets, but he fulfills them. He also tells us that if we follow the commandments and teach others to do so, we will receive a reward in heaven, but if we break the commandments and teach others to as well, we will not receive a reward in heaven and probably will end up going to purgatory or hell.
The Gospel is saying to not change things for they are supposed to happen. God has come to fulfill the laws and the prophets. He said, “Therefore whoever breaks one of the least of these Commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these Commandments will be called the best in the Kingdom of Heaven.
“Sin has its own consequences. There are serious consequences for sin and not following the commandments. Obedience is the first step to holiness and disobedience gave all humanity Original Sin. Basically, it boils down to selfishness and unselfishness. Sin is telling God we don’t care, period.” This impacted me the most because it reminded me how graceful God is. He literally sent his only begotten son Jesus to die for us and has the grace to forgive us again and again each time we sin. Even if we believe we don’t deserve it, He gives us His grace anyway.
in today’s gospel Jesus said that if you follow all of the commandments you will be greatest in the kingdom of heaven. breaking one lowly commandment is a sin even if it is a small commandment it is still God’s law. we must repent and be happy that we are God’s children.
“But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.” This stook out to me because Jesus is telling us those who follow the commandments will be able to get to Heaven.
In todays Gospel I think that if you can follow the ten Conmandments that then you will be in Heaven then you will probobly not need to be in purgetory that long or maybe not at all. Then if you are always breaking the ten comandments that it will be harder for you to get into Heaven .
“Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments
and teaches others to do so
will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven.
But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments
will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.” Jesus wants us to follow his commandments so we make it to heaven. He came to fulfill his fathers plan.
Today the Gospel told me that sin is very bad. It also told me that when you sin often you will go to the lowest of Heaven. Only when you follow the 10 Commandments properly you will go to the highest of Heaven.
#Christian YODO
What I took from today’s gospel is that we should follow God’s commandments. If we follow God’s commandments then we can go to the Kingdom of Heaven. If we don’t then we will not go to Heaven.
The part of this Gospel that stuck out to me was when Jesus says, “whoever obeys and teaches these commandments
will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.” This meant to me that if we follow the teachings of God than we will get to Heaven and we will become great in God’s sight.
What i took from today;s gospel was that even though the ten commandments may seem small and worthless and easy to get around they truly are not. God knows every single thing that we do, he knows if we break the laws and if we even think about breaking them. He says whoever breaks these laws shall be called least in heaven, but whomever follows these laws and abides by them shall be called greatest in heaven. AMEN!!!!!
In todays Gospel Jesus tells us to practice what we preach. He says to us whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called the least in heaven. It is ok to give advice about our faith to others but to do so we must live our faith out aswell. We can also say that here Jesus is telling us to not commit sin and how we shouldnt tell others to do so.
Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments
and teaches others to do so.
this stood out to me because its basically telling you that if you do something in front of, lets say for arguments sake, your siblings, their going to think that its okay to do those things and will also do them. by doing that in front of your siblings, you just taught them to do that.
Jesus tells us that we will be seen as bad by the angels in heaven if we act sinfully and teach others to do so (you are always setting an example for someone else, so you can never sin and not teach someone else to). If we strive not to sin, then we will be called great, for we resisted common AND uncommon temptations, of course, never without the help of God.
Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.” and God’s word need to follow the commandments
“WHOEVER IS NOT WITH ME IS AGAINST ME,AND WHOEVER DOES NOT GATHER WITH ME SCATTERS.” LK 11:14-23
this really stuck out to me It reminded me of when father was talking about the lost sheep and if we do not follow we will not have eternal life and the same thing is happening in the passage if we do not follow jesus we will be a like a lost sheep and not make it to heaven .
