Happy the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.

The very unpopular theme of obedience runs through the readings today.

Moses tells his people: ‘Keep God’s laws and commandments as I give them to you today so that you and your children after you may prosper and live long in the country that your God is giving you forever’.

In the gospel reading, Matthew tells us of the very last instructions of Jesus before he ascended into heaven: ‘Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations: baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to observe all the commands I gave you. And, look, I am with you always: yes, to the end of time.’

There must be blessings to be gained from being obedient to the Lord!
