120. God does not command
This sentence, which makes us smile, allows us to meditate and deepen it:“No man does he command to sin, to none does he give strength for lies.” Sirach, chapter 15, verse 20
God commands nothing that is destructive to us and to our neighbour: “To none does he give strength for lies.” He does not allow anyone to sin. Sin is not God’s choice. God does not impose anything on us.
Let’s say it like this: “He did not allow anyone to be stupid.” Because the lack of intelligence, understanding and reflection is the sign of a closure to God and to others.
We are free as wind, free as children of God. It is up to us to discern and want what God offers us.
