“What we utter is God’s wisdom: a mysterious hidden wisdom. God planned it before all ages for our glory. Yet God has revealed this wisdom to us through the Spirit… Jesus said to his disciples: ‘I tell you unless your holiness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees you shall not enter the kingdom of God.’” The ‘professional’ religious people of Jesus’ time knew the

bible, practiced in detail the requirements of their faith, and most were holy people. They knew the word, lived the word and incorporated it into the daily living. Fast forward: How does the wisdom of God play out in my life? I know many things from the bible. I can speak about the four gospel writers and enjoy the life of the primitive church as I find it in the Acts of the Apostles. Some passages especially from the letters of Saint Paul, as the hymn of charity or the fruits of the Holy Spirit in Corinthians and Galatians move me. The wisdom found in the scriptures is to direct my life and focus on just one thing, that is my holiness. Knowledge in the head must move down a few inches and become the life giving pump for my heart. Holiness too is a gift of God for me to seek, discover and accept. We call Jesus ‘the holy one of God’ and we are to be as well.

“Lo que anunciamos es una sabiduría de Dios, misteriosa y secreta, que él preparó para nuestra gloria antes que existiera el mundo. Dios nos reveló todo esto por medio del Espíritu… Jesús les dijo a sus discípulos: ‘Les aseguro que si la justicia de ustedes no es superior a la de los escribas y fariseos, no entrarán en el Reino de los Cielos.’” Los religiosos ‘profesionales’ en los tiempos de Jesús conocían las escrituras, practicaban detalladamente los requerimientos de la fe, y la mayoría eran gente santa. Conocían la palabra y la incorporaban en el diario vivir. Avance al presente: ¿Cómo practico la sabiduría de Dios en mi vida? Sé muchas cosas de la biblia. Puedo mencionar a los cuatro evangelistas y gozar leyendo sobre la primera iglesia tal como lo encuentro en los Hechos de los Apóstoles. Algunos pasajes, especialmente de las cartas de San Pablo, como el Himno de la Caridad o los Frutos del Espíritu Santo en Corintios y Gálatas me conmueven. La sabiduría encontrada en las escrituras debe dirigir mi vida y enfocarme en una sola cosa: mi santidad. El conocimiento en nuestras cabezas debe moverse unos cuantos centímetros abajo y convertirse en la fuerza de vida para mi corazón. La Santidad es también un don de Dios para que yo busque, descubra y acepte. Llamamos a Jesús ‘el Santo de Dios’, y nosotros debemos serlo también.

“L’ideale religioso degli Ebrei devoti consisteva nell’osservare la legge, attraverso la quale si realizzava la volontà di Dio. Meditare, adempiere la legge, era per l’Israelita la sua “eredità”, “una lampada per i suoi passi”, suo “rifugio”, la sua “pace”. Gesù è la pienezza della legge perché egli è la parola definitiva del Padre. Paolo ci dice che “chi ama il suo simile ha

adempiuto la legge... Pieno compimento della legge è l’amore”. Ed è anche in questo senso che Gesù è la pienezza di ogni parola che esce dalla bocca di Dio: “Perché Dio ha tanto amato il mondo da dare il suo Figlio unigenito... perché il mondo si salvi per mezzo di lui”. Il cristiano è prima di tutto il discepolo di Gesù, non colui che adempie la legge. I farisei erano ossessionati dalla realizzazione letterale e minuziosa della legge; ma ne avevano completamente perso lo spirito. Di qui la parola di Gesù: “Se la vostra giustizia non supera quella degli scribi e dei farisei”. L’amore non è prima di tutto un sentimento diffuso per fare sempre quello di cui abbiamo voglia, ma al contrario il motore del servizio del prossimo, secondo i disegni divini. Ed è per questo che Gesù enumera sei casi della vita quotidiana - noi vedremo oggi i primi tre- in cui si manifesta questo amore concreto: la riconciliazione con il prossimo, non adirarsi, non insultare nessuno, non commettere adulterio neanche nel desiderio, evitare il peccato anche se vi si è affezionati come al proprio occhio o alla propria mano destra, non divorziare da un matrimonio valido...Il contrasto con i criteri che reggono il mondo attuale non potrebbe essere maggiore. Per quali valori i cristiani scommetterebbero? Ancora una volta siamo confortati dalla affermazione di Cristo: “Il cielo e la terra passeranno, ma le mie parole non passeranno”.
