Free from all sin, all anxiety and worries<\/em><\/p>\n

Jesus is the most eminent among those who, free from sin and anxiety, commit themselves to God and the neighbor.<\/h3>\n

Having Moses as mediator, God announced the commandments on Mount Sinai. \u00a0But in this last days, God, speaking to us through his Son, also on a mountain, proclaims a New Charter.\u00a0 It is the definitive one, which will set us free.<\/p>\n

Perhaps we protest like those who have believed in Jesus.\u00a0 But he replies, \u201cAmen, amen, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, even after leaving Egypt, the Israelites continue to be slaves.\u00a0 They were already free, surely, from Egyptian oppression by God\u2019s mighty hand and outstretched arm.\u00a0 Yet they had second thoughts, showing thus that they hardly understood the importance of their liberation and the omnipotence of their Liberator.<\/p>\n

They blamed Moses.\u00a0 And they rebuked him to his face, \u201cDid we not tell you in Egypt, \u2018Leave us alone.\u00a0 Let us serve the Egyptians.\u2019\u201d\u00a0 Hungry, they daydreamed, too, of sitting by their fleshpots and eating their fill of bread.\u00a0 In their thirst, they grumbled against Moses. \u00a0They apparently did not want to be free.<\/p>\n

But God did not leave the Israelites to their sorry state of misunderstanding and lack of desire to be free.\u00a0 He uttered the words of the commandments on Sinai.\u00a0 Hence, it becomes clear, in effect, what liberation consists in.\u00a0 To be free is to love God with our whole being and our neighbor as ourselves.<\/p>\n

With the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus offers us a new way of keeping the law and the prophets more fully.\u00a0 He is the preeminent embodiment of this way.<\/h4>\n

Jesus is the poor who trusts in God absolutely.\u00a0 That is why he cannot but love God.\u00a0 He is the firstborn among the humble who seek the Lord and observe his law.\u00a0 Besides, he leads those God has chosen in order to shame the strong and the honorable.\u00a0 That is because Jesus is the least powerful and the most despised.<\/p>\n

And he does not turn back in the face of opposition, persecution, insults and calumnies.\u00a0 Nor does he give up.\u00a0 Meek, merciful and simple, he seeks the kingdom of God and his righteousness and peace to the end, obedient to death on the cross.<\/p>\n

And to encourage us to imitate him, Jesus has also left us a memorial of his wonderful work.<\/p>\n

Grant, Lord, that I be a true Christian, not just a caricature of a Christian <\/em>(<\/em>SV.EN XII:222<\/a>).<\/em><\/h4>\n
