The Beatitudes: The Beautiful attitudes.
In this talk, Father Chris reminded me of an aspect of Matthews Gospel that I had completely forgotten. I had forgotten that the writer of Matthews gospel believed
Jesus was the new Moses.
Just as Moses led the people out of slavery from the Egyptian empire, an outer reality. Now Jesus leads his people out of slavery to fear and violence, an inner reality.
Jesus teaching on Metanoia, is just so good. It opens up for us a way to freedom.
The freedom to trust God.
The freedom of Faith:
The freedom of Hope:
The freedom of Love:
Thank you, Chris, and thanks to the writer of the Gospel of Matthew
