We misread scripture
the words of Christ
himself
Christ did not diminish
He did not destroy the
law
calling us to follow
higher than the law
to love our neighbors
as he loved us
focused on our own hearts
not to judge our
neighbors
even our thoughts convict
us
causing us to stumble
to fall short of the
living God
making us aware of our
clay
our need for his
sacrifice
He is the only path
to life, to paradise
