"Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven," Matthew 5:20.
And these guys were the experts in righteousness. You couldn't do the Law and the Prophets righter than them. You couldn't know what the Law and the Prophets said better than them. So how do you get righter than right? Yeah. Well. That's the problem. I mean, if the interest is to enter the sky kingdom, yeah? (But then, that's exactly what Jesus came to do, right? To fulfill the Law and the Prophets?) So we start with what we got. We repent.
We turn back with a brother or sister today so as to love God with all our hearts, souls, and strengths. And together we give thanks to Jesus for showing us the Way.
