Love Takes Us Further

In Matthew 5, the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says, "Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
From this statement we learn that the human tendency is to do less than what the law requires. The human proclivity is to minimize the law and make it easier to fulfill. But Jesus says the one who does this will be considered least in the kingdom.
Then Jesus goes on and illustrates what he means, and His first illustration is stunning. In verse 23 he says (in light of the command not to murder), "So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First, be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift."
Now why, if my brother has something against me, do I have to stop my worship and go and be reconciled with him? Isn't it "he" who has the problem? Shouldn't he come to me if he has a problem?
But if you look at verse 22 you will see why Jesus says to go seek reconciliation. Jesus said, "...and whoever says, 'You fool' will be liable to the hell of fire." Thus, if there is a chance that your offended brother might, in his anger over something you did, be calling you a fool in his heart, and thus be making himself "liable to the hell of fire", you must go and seek his good. You must work toward reconciliation and so rescue his soul from hell. Now who would have thought that was an application of the "Do not murder" commandment. But that's what love does - it takes us further. It not only keeps us from doing what we are commanded "not" to do, but it asks "how would love fulfill this command". In each example that follows Jesus shows how this works.
When you look at this calling, not just to keep away from things we are commanded to avoid, but to consider how love fulfills the commands - taking us further, we realize in our own strength we do not go there. That's why we need the Lord Jesus, living in us, and working through us an uncommon love. And when we fulfill the commands in this way, that is, when we love in this way, we will truly be a "city on a hill - a light to the world". May God help us all be such a light!
