The question posed in today’s Gospel requires Jesus to interpret the Law of Moses.

Jesus will show himself to be the Messiah through his suffering and death.

Following Jesus’ example of sacrificial love continues to be countercultural in our day as well.

Our personal relationship with Jesus is also an invitation to the community of faith, the Church.

By welcoming children and fostering their relationship with God, parents and families bear witness to the Kingdom of God.

In vivid terms Jesus teaches his disciples the consequences to those who would put obstacles before people who are on the road to faith.

Who are the people without power or status in our society that Jesus is calling us to serve? Do we do so willingly?

We can easily miss the fear that Jesus’ words must have evoked in his disciples.

We are a sacramental people who believe that God’s grace is given to us through these physical signs.

Jesus reminds us that we do not make ourselves holy by our actions. Rather, we become holy when we allow God’s Spirit to transform us.
