Saying and Doing

I hear people speak about what politicians say versus what politicians do. We tend to look at their actions. When actions contradict words, we believe the actions really define the person and their viewpoint more so than what they say.

Now look at Jesus. He says that he did not come to break rules. Keep the smallest letter of the law. Then he goes and heals Peter's Mother-In-Law on the Sabbath. She gets up and waits on him, on the sabbath. All this rule breaking contradicts what Jesus says. I look at what he does. If he is really human, then he lives a contradiction. It is part of the human condition. It is not a sin. It just is. What Jesus says, are things that work in a perfect world. We don't live in a perfect world and neither did he. What he does, his actions, are a response to an imperfect world. Do as he does until you come into a perfect world. Of course if the Giants win the Super Bowl we will be moving into a more perfect world!
