Reflection:
Do you obey, teach and live the commandments of the Lord?
Jesus in our gospel for today speaks about Himself as the fulfillment of the law. In effect Jesus was
telling the disciples I am now the fulfilment of those commandments from the Old Testament.
For example, the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17) which God gave to Moses in the mountain of
Sinai. Jesus summarized these ten to become the two greatest commandments which states: “‘Love
the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first
and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law
and the Prophets hang on these two commandments (Matthew 22:37-40).”
Jesus summarized the ten commandments thus it became the two greatest commandments of love.
Indeed, if we really have Jesus in our lives there would be no room for hatred, condemnation, self-
righteousness, bigotry and narrow-mindedness.
What would remain in our hearts is love for love is the advocacy and language of Jesus. Jesus love
for us is so unlike the love that we have. This is for the reason that Jesus love is not a selective kind
of love but love for everyone of us no matter who we are.
This is therefore the exercise of love that we have to emulate: To love everyone no matter how they
loved us and no matter the sins that they’ve committed against us. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
