God's will was once perceived as an order from high command, with endless do's and don'ts. In the old days, like Moses' era, people were led by laws and punishments. But a new era has dawned, with Satan defeated and humans adopted into a royal family. In this new time, Christ came, journeying from heaven to earth, to the cross, the grave and then the sky. Jesus and his apostles spoke of a superior path, without the black and white of rules, and instead promoting discernment, love for God, and faith. This is the meat of our faith - free from slavery, and servants to the Lord. Now, we're asked who does the will of the Father, who is the neighbour, and why we call Him Lord. Our battle in this era is for our time, focus and attention. We're encouraged to allocate our resources wisely, making the most of opportunities, and serving the Crown. Despite temptations, God provides a path into His loving arms. There's a clear difference between the old and new, the law and faith, and Moses and Jesus. We don't dismiss the way of Sinai but highlight the superior way of the cross, the path of faith, hope, and love. Quotes from Thomas Merton, Francis of Assisi, and Thomas a Kempis encapsulate this - “every moment plants something in our souls, we should always strive to please God, and understand that God knows what's best for us.”
