Study Notes

The Life of Christ

Two answers to the question of how to live a Christian life, according to Leroy A. Huizenga
First answer: The Greek word for "perfect" (telos) means "end or purpose." Jesus is urging us to pursue our true, whole-hearted purpose, in line with God's way.
Second answer: Jesus calls us to a mode of perfection that reflects God, achieved by living in God's grace. This mirrors God's way of being, not an identical copy.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that living in God's grace means participating in God's life.
Second Vatican Council: Human lives will be perfected by God's eternal and universal kingdom and be illuminated and transfigured in the kingdom of Heaven.
