(Gospel) Why is little so huge for God? "One of the least of these commandments." or again "The smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter." You would think bigger would be more important, right?
Reminds me of Mom warning us not to eat even the tiniest nibble of the freshly baked cookies, cooling on the rack for tonight's dinner.
But no, it's not just that - an over-protection of what is important.
Rather, the smaller details are most often those overlooked. To be a man of detail requires therefore more love, not less. To keep those shoes perfectly shined and the soles spotless too shows that the guard protecting the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery REALLY cares about what he does.
In other words, it's about the heart!
Jesus reminds us today: Whoever lives out even the least of the commandments "will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven."
