Ordinary 28: Bridging the gap (feat. Pr. Mielke)

Trinity Lutheran Elkhart Homilies

We all struggle with our love of money and possessions. Our love for our stuff stands in the way of a love for God and others. Which is how we fulfill the commandments. We don’t just follow the rules to get the reward of eternal life. The commandments are eternal life because they are God’s life and God is love.

1. The commandments are not the way to eternal life. We don’t follow the rules to get the prize. No, the commandments are eternal life. Because Eternal life is God’s life. And God is Love. So love is the fulfillment of the commandments.
2. This is impossible for us. But not for God. So we must stay in his love that transforms our love.
