[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, in today’s Gospel, *Jesus declares that he has come to fulfill the
Law.*
*The same Jesus who railed against the hypocritical legalism of the
Pharisees also said, “I have come not to abolish the law but to fulfill
it.” And the same Jesus who threatened to tear down the temple in Jerusalem
also promised to “raise it up” in three days.*

*The point is this: Jesus certainly criticized* *the corruption in the
institutional religion of his time*,* but he by no means called for* *its
wholesale dismantling*. *He was a loyal, observant, law-abiding Jew.*
*What he effected was a transfiguration of the best of that classical
Israelite religion—temple, law, priesthood, sacrifice, covenant—into the
institutions, sacraments, practices, and structures of his Mystical Body,
the Church.*
*Lots of New Age devotees today want spirituality without religion, and
lots of evangelicals want Jesus without religion*. *Both end up with
abstractions.* *But the one thing Jesus is not is an abstraction. Rather,
he is a spiritual power who makes himself available precisely in the dense
institutional particularity of his Mystical Body across space and time.
Jesus didn’t come to abolish religion; he came to fulfill it.*


*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  *
*Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent kegyelmedet,
hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus Krisztusnak
megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje által a
föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
