    Do and Teach the Commandments

    Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

    Matthew 5:17-19

    Jesus declares he came to fulfill the law, not abolish it, and he defended even its plainest commands, like honoring father and mother, against traditions that dodged them.

    Greatness in the kingdom has a two-word formula: does and teaches, in that order. Doing without teaching hides the light. Teaching without doing is the hypocrisy Jesus reserved his hardest words for. The kingdom's great ones live it first and pass it on second.

    Pick one command you are actually living and share it with one person, not as an expert but as a witness. Practice first, teach second, always in that order.
