If God is dwelling in our hearts and Jesus is in our lives, our every interaction, will we ever need to swear? Or take oaths?
We are simply called to live authentic lives which reflect the Gospels.
Let us revere, honour, worship and praise our God in all we say, in all we do, in all our hearts. Amen.
GOSPEL Matthew 5:33–37
Jesus said to his disciples:“You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, Do not take a false oath, but make good to the Lord all that you vow.But I say to you, do not swear at all; not by heaven, for it is God’s throne; nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Do not swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black. Let your ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ mean ‘No.’ Anything more is from the Evil One.”
