IF JESUS CAME TO MY HOUSE TODAY

 

 

 

Today's Gospel from Mat 11:20-24 - the judgment on Sodom and Chorazin made me think.

And a reflection article asks:

"If Jesus were to visit your community today, what would he say?  Would he issue a warning like the one he gave to Chorazin and Bethsaida?"

A sense of guilt has been with me for a while.   All that I have, all that I experience, all that I ever will have, will be - are blessings from the Lord.  This I know truly, I believe wholeheartedly and I give thanks sincerely.  So much blessings I am receiving from the Lord, yet so little discipline in my prayer life.   So much I pack into my days, yet so little space I put aside for my Lord.

What would Jesus say when he comes to my home, see my day & the way I spend my time, observe my interactions with my closest ones.... would he lament and issue a stern warning like he did to Chorazin and Bethsaida?

Do my priorities and actions point to indifference to Him?  In what ways am I sinning that cause Jesus to lament?  Am I daily walking in His way of truth and freedom, grace and mercy, justice and holiness.  What am I doing in my day that will delight Him?  Am I receiving His word with faith and obedience, or with doubt and indifference?

I ask the Holy Spirit to come light up my day, enlighten my mind, strengthen my resolve; Give me wisdom to prioritise rightly, strength to accomplish His daily mission for me, widsom to respond to all situations with grace - in a way that builds up and not tear down His people.  And may He grant me everlasting joy and peace in walking the path He has set for me, and fulfilling His plan for my every day.
