Cut It Off

In the Kingdom of God, we find our place,

Not just in actions, but in grace.

A life of obedience, externally shown,

Yet, transformation within, in seeds sown.

Strive for purity, in thought and deed,

In every desire, in every need.

Not just actions that others see,

But in our hearts, where thoughts run free.

We all fall short, in ways untold,

Yet, through Jesus, we're in the fold.

Forgiveness received, power anew,

To live righteously, to virtues true.

Examine our hearts, take a look within,

Where does righteousness begin?

In our relationships, commitments made,

In living out values, not letting them fade.

So let us walk, in this journey of life,

Amidst the joy, amidst the strife.

With hearts transformed, and values pure,

In the Kingdom of God, we are secure.

REFLECTION:

"And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body go into Gehenna." (Matthew 5:30)

Our lives should be according to the values of the Kingdom of God, which involves not just external obedience to the law, but also the inner transformation of the heart. 

We should strive for purity not just in our actions, but also in our thoughts and desires. We all fall short, but through Jesus, we can receive forgiveness and the power to live righteously. 

Let us examine our hearts, our relationships, and our commitment to living out these values.

Dear Lord Jesus,

We come before You today, acknowledging that our lives should be according to the values of Your Kingdom. We understand that this involves not just external obedience to Your law, but also the inner transformation of our hearts.

Help us, Lord, to strive for purity, not just in our actions, but also in our thoughts and desires. We know that we often fall short, but we are grateful that through You, we can receive forgiveness and the power to live righteously.

We ask You to help us examine our hearts, our relationships, and our commitment to living out these values. Guide us in our journey, and help us to reflect Your love and grace in all that we do.

In Your precious name, we pray,

Amen.

TEACHING ABOUT ADULTERY / TEACHING ABOUT DIVORCE

Matthew 5:27-30 / 31-32

Gospel | Matthew 5:27-32

Gospel Acclamation

Shine like lights in the world, as you hold on to the word of life.

27 Jesus said to his disciples: “You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery. 28 But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into Gehenna. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body go into Gehenna. 31 “It was also said, Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of divorce. 32 But I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.”

Background:

Matthew 5:27-32 is part of the Sermon on the Mount, one of the most well-known teachings of Jesus. This sermon is found in the Gospel of Matthew, chapters 5-7. In this section, Jesus is reinterpreting the Law of Moses, going beyond the literal interpretation to reveal the spirit of the law.

The verses you mentioned, Matthew 5:27-32, deal with the issues of adultery and divorce. Jesus begins by addressing the commandment “You shall not commit adultery,” but He expands on it by saying that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. This shows that Jesus is concerned not just with our actions, but also with our thoughts and intentions.

Then, Jesus addresses the issue of divorce. In the Jewish law of that time, a man could divorce his wife by giving her a certificate of divorce. However, Jesus says that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery. This teaching emphasizes the sanctity of marriage and the seriousness of the commitment made between husband and wife.

In essence, Jesus is calling His followers to a higher standard of righteousness, one that surpasses the legalistic righteousness of the Pharisees. He is teaching that obedience to God’s law involves not just external actions, but also the inner attitudes of the heart. This reflects the broader theme of the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus presents the values of the Kingdom of God and calls His followers to live according to these values.

Learning Lessons:

Matthew 5:27-32 provides several important lessons for our lives:

Purity of Heart: Jesus teaches that sin is not just about our actions, but also about our thoughts and intentions. Looking at someone lustfully, according to Jesus, is akin to committing adultery in one’s heart. This calls us to strive for purity not just in our actions, but also in our thoughts and desires.

Sanctity of Marriage: Jesus’ teaching on divorce underscores the sanctity and seriousness of the marriage commitment. He challenges the practice of easy divorce prevalent in His time, teaching that divorce, except in cases of sexual immorality, leads to adultery. This underscores the importance of faithfulness and commitment in marriage.

Higher Righteousness: These teachings are part of Jesus’ call to a higher righteousness, one that surpasses the legalistic righteousness of the Pharisees. Jesus is calling His followers to live according to the values of the Kingdom of God, which involves not just external obedience to the law, but also the inner transformation of the heart.

Grace and Forgiveness: While these teachings set a high standard, it’s important to remember that Jesus also offers grace and forgiveness. We all fall short, but through Jesus, we can receive forgiveness and the power to live righteously.

These lessons challenge us to examine our hearts, our relationships, and our commitment to living out the values of the Kingdom of God. They remind us that following Jesus involves not just external obedience, but also inner transformation.

Reconciliation and Settlement

"Leave your gift there at the altar, 

go first and be reconciled with your brother, 

and then come and offer your gift. 

Settle with your opponent quickly 

while on the way to court."

MATTHEW 5:24-25

This passage is part of the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus is teaching His disciples about the nature of righteousness that surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees. He emphasizes not just the letter of the law, but the spirit of the law, extending the commandment against murder to include anger and insults. He also underscores the importance of reconciliation and settling disputes quickly. 

20 Jesus said to his disciples: “I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven. 21 “You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment. 22 But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, Raqa, will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna. 23 Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, 24 leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Settle with your opponent quickly while on the way to court. Otherwise your opponent will hand you over to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. 26 Amen, I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.” (Matthew 5:20-26)

"From the lips of Jesus, a truth unfolds, righteousness must surpass the scribes and Pharisees of old. 'Thou shall not kill,' so it was told, yet deeper wisdom, His words hold. Anger towards a brother, a judgment invites, a harsh word spoken, the Sanhedrin incites. 'You fool,' if said, to fiery Gehenna it ignites, in the heart, the battle of right and wrong fights. If at the altar, a gift you present, and recall a brother's resentment, leave your gift, let your steps be bent, first be reconciled, let your heart repent. With your opponent, make amends, before to court, the path extends.

Lest the judge to prison sends, pay the last penny, or confinement never ends."

Lord Jesus, we hear Your words, clear and profound, calling us to righteousness, to a faith that's sound. May our deeds surpass those of scribes and Pharisees so we may enter the Kingdom of heaven, find eternal peace. You remind us of the commandment, 'You shall not kill,' but extend it further, to anger that does ill. Help us control our anger, our words keep in check, lest we face judgment, our relationships wreck. If we bring a gift to the altar, and there recall, that our brother has something against us, however small, help us leave our gift, go first and make amends, then come and offer our gift, for love transcends. Guide us to settle with our opponent quickly, without delay, lest we be handed over to the judge, have a heavy price to pay for as You say, we will not be released until we have paid the last penny, Help us live in righteousness, in love, in harmony. In Your name, we pray. Amen.

This passage is a profound reflection on morality, virtue, and the consequences of our actions. It emphasizes the importance of righteousness and the potential for redemption. It suggests that a wicked person who turns away from their sins and does what is right and just will live, while a virtuous person who turns to do evil will die. God does not rejoice in wicked's end but cheer when they amend. If wicked hearts repent and fear, turn from their sins, God's laws obey, they shall live, not die. Their crimes forgotten, washed away, in virtue's light, they'll find their way. But if the virtuous lose their sight, and choose the wrong, forsake the right, their virtues lost, their faith denied, in their sins, they'll surely hide. It also raises questions about fairness and justice. 

21 Thus says the Lord God: If the wicked man turns away from all the sins he committed, if he keeps all my statutes and does what is right and just, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22 None of the crimes he committed shall be remembered against him; he shall live because of the virtue he has practiced. 23 Do I indeed derive any pleasure from the death of the wicked? says the Lord God. Do I not rather rejoice when he turns from his evil way that he may live? 24 And if the virtuous man turns from the path of virtue to do evil, the same kind of abominable things that the wicked man does, can he do this and still live? None of his virtuous deeds shall be remembered, because he has broken faith and committed sin; because of this, he shall die. 25 You say, “The Lord’s way is not fair!” Hear now, house of Israel: Is it my way that is unfair, or rather, are not your ways unfair? 26 When someone virtuous turns away from virtue to commit iniquity, and dies, it is because of the iniquity he committed that he must die. 27 But if the wicked, turning from the wickedness he has committed, does what is right and just, he shall preserve his life; 28 since he has turned away from all the sins which he committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. (Ezekiel 18:21-28)

In the realm where virtue and vice collide, a proclamation from the Lord does abide. "If wickedness you shed and my laws you heed, in the book of life, your name shall indeed. Your sins forgotten, your crimes effaced, by virtue's practice, life embraced. Does pleasure, I derive from the wicked's fall? No, I rejoice when he heeds my call. But what of the virtuous, straying from light, embracing the darkness, losing sight? His virtues forgotten, his faith undone, for his sins, the virtuous one. When virtue to vice does capitulate, it's the iniquity committed that seals the fate but the wicked, turning from his past preserves his life, finds peace at last. Turning away from all sins committed, in the book of life his name is written for in repentance and justice found, life, not death, shall abound."

Lord God, we come before You, acknowledging our sins, we pray for the strength to turn away from them, to begin anew. Help us to keep Your statutes, to do what is right and just, that we may live, not die, in Your trust. May our past crimes not be remembered against us but let us live because of the virtue we practice. You take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rejoice when we turn from our evil ways, convicted. If we, the virtuous, stray from the path of righteousness, doing the same abominable things as the wicked, no less, help us remember that our virtuous deeds will not save us, if we break faith and commit sin, causing a fuss. When we turn away from virtue to commit iniquity, it's because of our sins that we face the penalty. But if we, the wicked, turn from our wickedness, doing what is right and just in Your sight, no less, we shall preserve our life, our spirit revive, for turning away from all our sins, we shall surely live, not die. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.

This passage is a heartfelt plea for mercy and forgiveness, expressing deep trust in the Lord. It acknowledges human frailty and the impossibility of standing before God if He were to mark iniquities. Yet, it also speaks of God’s forgiveness, His kindness, and His redemption. It emphasizes the soul’s trust in God’s word and its patient waiting for the Lord, likened to a sentinel waiting for the dawn. 

1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice! 2 Let your ears be attentive to my voice in supplication. 3 If you, O Lord, mark iniquities, Lord, who can stand? 4 But with you is forgiveness, that you may be revered. ⁵ I trust in the Lord; my soul trusts in his word. 6 My soul waits for the Lord more than sentinels wait for the dawn. ⁷ Let Israel wait for the Lord. For with the Lord is kindness and with him is plenteous redemption; ⁸ and he will redeem Israel from all their iniquities. (Psalm 130:1-2, 3-4, 5-7, 7-8)

From depths profound, to You I cry O Lord above, hear my sigh. Your ears, O Lord, may they incline to this humble plea of mine. If You mark our sins, who can stand? But Your forgiveness is at hand. Revered You are, for mercy's sake, a refuge for those who partake. In the Lord, my trust I place, my soul finds solace in His grace. For the Lord, my soul does yearn, more than watchmen for dawn's return. Plenteous redemption is His gift, He will our burdened souls uplift and from our sins, we shall be free, redeemed in His love, eternally.

Lord, from the depths of our hearts, we cry out to You, hear our voice, let Your ears be attentive to our plea. If You were to mark our iniquities, who could stand before You? But with You, O Lord, is forgiveness, so that You may be revered. We place our trust in You, our souls find solace in Your word, like sentinels waiting for the dawn, our souls wait for You. Let us, like Israel, wait for You, Lord, for with You is kindness, and plenteous redemption. You promise to redeem us from all our iniquities, to cleanse us, to make us whole. In this promise, we find hope, we find peace. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.

Need for Jesus

“Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do. 

I have not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners.” 

LUKE 5:31-32

Jesus came to help those who recognize their own spiritual need. It’s often interpreted as a metaphor where “the healthy” refers to those who believe they are righteous and “the sick” refers to those who acknowledge their sins and seek forgiveness. It underscores the mission of Jesus to bring spiritual healing and salvation to those who seek it. It’s often interpreted as a call to humility and recognition of one’s own shortcomings.

27 Jesus saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the customs post. He said to him, “Follow me.” 28 And leaving everything behind, he got up and followed him. 29 Then Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were at table with them. 30 The Pharisees and their scribes complained to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” 31 Jesus said to them in reply, “Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do. 32 I have not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners.” (Luke 5:27-32)

In the realm where spirits dwell, a tale of grace I've come to tell of the Healer, so divine, whose love for sinners is the sign. "Those who are healthy need me not, but the sick, in pain and distraught. For it's not the righteous I seek, but the humble, the meek. I've not come to call the just, but sinners, in me they must trust. To repentance, I lead their way, in my love, they'll forever stay. The righteous stand in their might, blinded by their own light but the sinners, they see the truth, in their flaws, they find the proof. So, come all, who are unwell, in your hearts, let the Healer dwell. For the sick need the physician's care, and in His love, find solace there."

Lord Jesus, we come before You, acknowledging our need for Your grace for we know that those who are healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do. We confess our transgressions and shortcomings, understanding that You have not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners. We are the sinners, Lord, in need of Your mercy and forgiveness. Help us to seek You in our weakness, to find strength in Your love and healing in Your touch. May we find comfort in knowing that You are the Great Physician who heals not just our bodies, but our souls. Guide us in our journey towards repentance, help us turn away from our sins and towards Your love. May we always remember that You have come not for the righteous, but for us sinners, to bring us back to You. With much love and full of praise and thanksgiving we pray in Your most holy name. Amen.

This reading emphasizes the importance of righteousness and integrity. It suggests that if one refrains from oppressive actions, false accusations, and malicious speech, then they will be guided and blessed by the Lord, even in times of hardship or scarcity. This aligns with many religious teachings that advocate for kindness, truthfulness, and justice as pathways to divine guidance and blessings. It’s a powerful reminder of the potential spiritual rewards of leading a virtuous life.

9 Thus says the Lord: If you remove from your midst oppression, false accusation, and malicious speech; 10 if you bestow your bread on the hungry and satisfy the afflicted; then light shall rise for you in the darkness, and the gloom shall become for you like midday; 11 then the Lord will guide you always and give you plenty even on the parched land. He will renew your strength, and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails. 12 The ancient ruins shall be rebuilt for your sake, and the foundations from ages past you shall raise up; “Repairer of the breach,” they shall call you, “Restorer of ruined homesteads.” 13 If you hold back your foot on the sabbath from following your own pursuits on my holy day; if you call the sabbath a delight, and the Lord’s holy day honorable; if you honor it by not following your ways, seeking your own interests, or speaking with malice; 14 then you shall delight in the Lord, and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; I will nourish you with the heritage of Jacob, your father, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken. (Isaiah 58:9-14)

In the heart of the community, let justice reign, remove oppression, let no false accusation stain. Silence the tongues that maliciously speak for it's the guidance of the Lord that we seek. If from your midst, these evils you remove, in the path of righteousness, you'll smoothly move. The Lord will guide you, come what may, even in parched lands, you'll find your way. He'll give you plenty, where scarcity was rife, breathe into barren lands, a new life. So, let your actions be just and true, and watch the Lord's blessings shower on you. In every word, in every deed, let love and kindness be your creed for when you banish hate and deceit, the Lord's guidance you'll surely meet.

Father in heaven, we come before You today, seeking Your guidance and grace. We understand that if we remove from our midst oppression, false accusation, and malicious speech, then You, O Lord, will guide us always and give us plenty even on the parched land. Help us to rid our hearts and minds of any form of injustice, to speak only truth and to refrain from causing harm with our words. May we strive to create a community that reflects Your love and righteousness. Guide us, O Lord, in all our endeavors, and bless us with Your abundance even in times of scarcity. May we always remember Your promise and strive to live according to Your teachings. In Jesus holy name, we pray. Amen.

This reading is a beautiful expression of faith and trust in God and a heartfelt plea to the Lord, expressing a deep sense of urgency and need for divine attention and intervention. It reflects a deep sense of devotion and reliance on divine protection and guidance, a profound faith in God’s ability to hear and respond to prayers. It’s a powerful affirmation of one’s belief in God’s ability to safeguard and sustain those who trust in Him. 

1 Incline your ear, O Lord; answer me, for I am afflicted and poor. 2 Keep my life, for I am devoted to you; save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God. 3 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for to you I call all the day. 4 Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. 5 For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in kindness to all who call upon you. 6 Hearken, O Lord, to my prayer and attend to the sound of my pleading. (Psalm 86:1-2, 3-4, 5-6)

"Keep my life," I pray to Thee, for I am devoted, can't you see? Save your servant, in You I trust, in Your wisdom and justice, I adjust. You are my God, my guiding light, in my darkest hour, my knight. In Your hands, I place my fate, with unwavering faith, I patiently wait. My life, my soul, to You I give, in Your grace, I move and live. Your servant, Lord, forever I'll be, in Your love, I am free. So, keep my life, hold it dear, with You, I have nothing to fear for I trust in You, my God, my guide. In Your mercy, I take refuge and hide.

Father in heaven, I come before You today, with a heart full of devotion. "Keep my life," I pray, for I am devoted to You. As Your servant, I place my trust in You, believing in Your promise to save those who trust in You. You are my God, my protector, my guide. In times of joy and in times of strife, I ask You, Lord, to keep my life. For in You, I find my strength, my peace, in Your presence, all my worries cease. So, save Your servant, Lord, I pray, guide me, lead me, show me the way for You are my God, in You I trust, in Your love, which is righteous and just. In Jesus most holy name, I pray. Amen.

Freedom from Debt

Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. - Romans 13:8

The hand of the Lord always works to give you freedom from any debt so that you may not owe anything to anyone. Always make sure to fulfill and pay all your debts and obligations. Work because you love yourself, your family, and those who are under your employ.

The love that is in me in Christ Jesus that moves my heart not to owe anything to those who are under my employ. In my past life as a businessman, never have I been prompt in paying the salaries of my staff and laborers. Now, I am even advanced whenever they request for cash advances. On top of this, the Lord also made me faithful in giving what is due to my wife. This has been the fulfillment of the law in me, owing nothing to anyone, except to love them!

Freedom in Christ Jesus

But now that you have been freed from sin 

and have become slaves of God, 

the benefit that you have leads to sanctification, 

and its end is eternal life. 

ROMANS 6:22

I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your nature. For just as you presented the parts of your bodies as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness for lawlessness, so now present them as slaves to righteousness for sanctification. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free from righteousness. (Rom 6:19-20)

Jesus said to His disciples: “I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing! There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three; a father will be divided against his son and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter and a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.” (Lk 12:49-53)

What profit did you get then from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now that you have been freed from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit that you have leads to sanctification, and its end is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rom 6:21-23)

Blessed the man who follows not the counsel of the wicked nor walks in the way of sinners, nor sits in the company of the insolent, but delights in the law of the Lord and meditates on his law day and night. He is like a tree planted near running water that yields its fruit in due season, and whose leaves never fade. Whatever he does, prospers. (Ps 1:1-3)

Not so the wicked, not so; they are like chaff which the wind drives away. For the Lord watches over the way of the just, but the way of the wicked vanishes. (Ps 1:4,6)

BE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD

Those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a spirit of adoption, through whom we cry, “Abba, Father!”

The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. -- Romans 8:14-17


Have you forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as sons? -- "My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor lose courage when you are punished by him. -- Hebrews 12:5

 "For the Lord disciplines him whom he loves, 

and chastises every son whom he receives."

Hebrews 12:6

It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? -- Hebrews 12:5-7

For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. -- Hebrews 12:11
