~ REFLECTION ~ Most of us can recall a time when we did only what was absolutely necessary to get by. When it comes to our Christian life, however, Jesus calls us to a higher standard. As we gather for worship today, perhaps our prayer can be for the grace and the courage to go beyond the letter of the law in order to live according to a higher law, the law of love. ~ REFLEXION ~ La mayoría de nosotros podemos recordar alguna ocasión en que hicimos sólo lo que era absolutamente necesario para salir del paso. Cuando se trata de nuestra vida cristiana, sin embargo, Jesús nos llama hacia un nivel superior. Reunidos aquí para ofrecer nuestro culto a Dios hoy, tal vez nuestra oración pudiera elevarse para obtener la gracia y la valentía de ir más allá del texto de la ley a fin de vivir conforme a una ley superior, la ley del amor.
