New Covenant UMC

Hurting others or being hurt by others seems an inevitable part of life. Our “good intentions” for our lives and relationships can so easily go awry when faced with our own inner pain. In our scripture today, those concerned with “the Law” (the correct way to do things) are admonished by Jesus. The only way to be undefiled, Jesus says, is to know wholeness on the inside, not just focus on appearing “pure” on the outside. For when we are healed from the inside-out, our intentions are love.
