I Fulfill the Law With the Law of Love.

  I have not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets, but to fulfill them.  This radical and authoritative teaching of Jesus contained reactions from His disciples, as if Jesus wanted to abolish the Law and the Prophets.  Jesus asserted that He came precisely to fulfill what would have been flawed because of imperfect interpretation by the scribes.

  Jesus taught His disciples to understand, live, practice and teach God's law in its entirety.  We should not enjoy His word only on things that are interesting or that suit our circumstances.  Let us not carry the principle of like it or not when we taste the word of God.  Because this will limit us to draw the wealth of God's word, even reduce the wealth of the word.

  Jesus made it clear that He came not to destroy but to fulfill the Law.  Jesus did not want to stop at the rules and letters in the Torah.  Jesus wanted to set things straight and make it real.  In making it happen, Jesus faced a difficult reality due to many clashes with the Jews.

  Jesus fulfilled the Law with the Law of Love, the Law that frees man from all things that hold him back.  In living and practicing love, it is a tangible form of us taking part in the life and mission of Jesus who came precisely to perfect the Torah and the Prophets.

  Today there are many regulations and laws circulating.  The basis remains the same, namely for the sake of human salvation and affirming love itself.  This should be our criteria in applying the law.  Are we already among the people who are moving on this path?  Now and from now on, our task is to fulfill the Law of Love in our daily lives.
