Good morning good people,
May the Lord give you peace, health, and happiness in the Holy Spirit.
Are we a proof or a group of faith?
It is 04th September 2024. We reflect on 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 and Luke 4:38-44. Growth and blessings always come from God.
Whether the growth is spiritual or physical, it takes a lot of people to achieve it, yet no one takes the credit except God.
Jealousy and unfair criticisms truly cost the growth of the Church at large. It is good to have self-evaluation not self-criticism. Feedback with constructive ideas is to encourage in all levels. Prejudice, and wrangling must be avoided at all levels of our evangelisations.
It is the responsibility put on our shoulders to continue working for the welfare of the Church as a co-worker with God.
So, we must avoid all kinds of divisions and factions among us. Let us stop working for my group, my tribe, my race, my caste, my people instead start offering our service and love to our people, our group, our church. We-consciousness rewards always than Me-consciousness.
Everyone has to play their part in building the Kingdom of God. We will be rewarded for the work we do to the community of believers by God. No one’s part is glorious than the other. Everyone’s tiny effort is so crucial and so important for the growth of the community.
Let us not divide the Church for our selfish, petty, and hidden agenda. May we not push our personal and secretive wishes inside the church. Let us not destroy the unity and peace of the Church by our unnecessary messages and overcrowded gossiping.
We are just co-workers for God and let us learn to give credit to God otherwise it will ruin our church with jealousy and groupism.
The responsorial Psalm acclaims, “Happy the people the Lord has chosen as his own.” (Ps.32:12).
The Gospel invites us to be evangelizers beyond our comfort borders, boundaries, relationship.
Having done the good work in the community where we belong, we must stretch our hands and hearts to those who are in need elsewhere.
“I must proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom of God the other towns too, because that what I was sent to do.” (Lk.4:44).
We cannot keep Jesus for ourselves only. Jesus is not for sale.
We need to give Him to others and to spread the Good News to as many people as possible beyond the comfortable distances.
Do our words and actions reflect Jesus?
Are we spreading the Good News or bad news in our communities?
Are we the children of God or the Agents of gods?
So far, we have not healed, preached, served enough. Let us begin doing something for Christ and the Church. May God bless you and have a good day.
