By Fr. Ed Liptak, SDB <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long before Christ, Moses urged that we keep God\u2019s commandments faithfully. He declared, \u201cThis great nation is truly a wise and discerning people\u201d\u2026\u201dFor what great nation is there that has gods so close to it as the LORD our God is to us whenever we call upon him.\u201d Thus was the Law set as the source of ancient Wisdom. Living by the Law was living wisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus also did the elder Sirach long after Moses and only about two centuries before Christ instruct his son, \u201cIf you trust in God, you too shall live; [the Law] will save you;\u201d See Sirach longing for the safety of his son, and picture yourself praying for salvation of a loved one: \u201cBefore man are life and death, good and evil; whichever he chooses shall be given him. Immense is the wisdom of the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Paul goes a step farther. The Commandments alone cannot save. They must be kept with faith in Christ, who by His Cross has He thrown open salvation to those who love and obey God. The saving value of the Commandments comes only through the redemptive sacrifice of the Lord. In Christ is our salvation. Wisdom, whether of Jew or Gentile, cannot suffice. Christ is the hidden Wisdom determined by God before the ages for our glory. We of the New Law, moved by the Spirit that Jesus won for us, can by his Passion and death, possess Wisdom greater than that of old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus takes us farthest toward human perfection. He said, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.\u201d Not only would he fulfill the law, but truly lead us closest to God along the way to goodness. Jesus guides all humanity toward purity of spirit, purity of thought and desire. Do we want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Don\u2019t kill,\u2019 is not enough. but also don\u2019t harbor anger against your brother.
Not only \u2018Don\u2019t commit adultery,\u2019 but don\u2019t look at a person with lustful intent. You have sinned by the desire in your heart. “
Not only \u2018Don\u2019t lie under oath,\u2019 but go the farthest, Yes or No truly mean yes or no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus has ushered us to the open gates of Heaven.
Listen! \u201cI am the way, the truth and the life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabio m\u00e1s sabio<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mucho antes de Cristo, Mois\u00e9s instaba a que guard\u00e1ramos fielmente los mandamientos de Dios. Declar\u00f3: “Esta gran naci\u00f3n es verdaderamente un pueblo sabio y perspicaz”\u2026 “Porque \u00bfqu\u00e9 gran naci\u00f3n hay que tenga dioses tan cercanos como el SE\u00d1OR, nuestro Dios, lo es para nosotros cada vez que le invocamos?” As\u00ed fue establecida la Ley como fuente de la antigua Sabidur\u00eda. Vivir seg\u00fan la Ley era vivir sabiamente.
\u00a0
As\u00ed tambi\u00e9n el anciano Siraj mucho despu\u00e9s de Mois\u00e9s y solo unos dos siglos antes de Cristo instruy\u00f3 a su hijo: “Si conf\u00edas en Dios, t\u00fa tambi\u00e9n vivir\u00e1s; [la Ley] te salvar\u00e1;” Mira Siraj anhelando la seguridad de su hijo, e imag\u00ednate rezando por la salvaci\u00f3n de un ser querido: “Ante el hombre est\u00e1n la vida y la muerte, el bien y el mal;\u00a0el que elija se le dar\u00e1.\u00a0Inmensa es la sabidur\u00eda del Se\u00f1or.”
\u00a0
St. Paul va un paso m\u00e1s all\u00e1.\u00a0\u00a0Los Mandamientos por s\u00ed solos no pueden salvar. Deben ser guardados con fe en Cristo, que por Su Cruz ha abierto la salvaci\u00f3n a quienes aman y obedecen a Dios. El valor salvador de los Mandamientos solo proviene del sacrificio redentor del Se\u00f1or. En Cristo est\u00e1 nuestra salvaci\u00f3n. La sabidur\u00eda, ya sea jud\u00eda o gentil, no puede bastar. Cristo es la Sabidur\u00eda oculta determinada por Dios antes de los siglos para nuestra gloria. Nosotros, de la Nueva Ley, movidos por el Esp\u00edritu que Jes\u00fas nos gan\u00f3, podemos, por su Pasi\u00f3n y muerte, poseer una Sabidur\u00eda mayor que la de anta\u00f1o.
\u00a0
Jes\u00fas nos lleva m\u00e1s lejos hacia la perfecci\u00f3n humana. Dijo: “No pens\u00e9is que he venido a abolir la ley o los profetas.\u00a0No he venido a abolir, sino a cumplir.” No solo cumplir\u00eda la ley, sino que realmente nos guiar\u00eda m\u00e1s cerca de Dios en el camino hacia la bondad. Jes\u00fas gu\u00eda a toda la humanidad hacia la pureza de esp\u00edritu, la pureza de pensamiento y deseo. \u00bfQueremos entrar en el Reino de los Cielos?
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0‘No matar’ no es suficiente. Pero tampoco guardes enfado contra tu hermano.\u00a0\u00a0
No solo ‘No cometas adulterio’, sino que tampoco mires a una persona con intenci\u00f3n lujuriosa. Has pecado por el deseo en tu coraz\u00f3n.\u00a0“
No solo ‘No mientas bajo juramento’, sino que vayas m\u00e1s lejos, S\u00ed o No realmente significa s\u00ed o no.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jes\u00fas nos ha conducido a las puertas abiertas del Cielo.
\u00a1Escucha! “Yo soy el camino, la verdad y la vida.”
