Martin Luther, explaining Matthew 5, presses Christ’s words to their limit: if devotion interferes with love of neighbor, devotion must wait. Luther even says God would rather see no church built than a neighbor neglected. The obstacle to worship, he suggests, may be the grievance our neglect creates. How will you seek reconciliation where duty and devotion collide?
