WORD 2day: 14th March, 2014 RELEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS Every social institution teaches one how to be good and how to act acceptable to the rest of the society, within a context. Religion is the easiest and most efficacious means of enforcement in this regard. Jesus today makes a difference between a simplistic understanding of religion and a profound sense of faith: faith as a personal response of a person to God, requires a perfection of a greater quality. It is not merely a life that is concerned about keeping the law, but it is all about going beyond it - in being sensitive to the feelings of the other, staying attentive to the needs of the other, and reaching out to the other in a self-giving love! Whole life cannot be spent on avoiding the evil, we are called to grow in goodness, personify goodness and spread goodness wherever we are. Jesus invites us to relearn what it means to be righteous; to surpass the righteousness of the world and set standards that are really worthy of the children of God. thots-n-lots.blogspot.in/2014/03/word-2day-14th-march-2014.html
