Gospel
Luke 12:54-59
Do you not know how to interpret these times?
Jesus said to the crowds: ‘When you see a cloud looming up in the west you say at once that rain is coming, and so it does. And when the wind is from the south you say it will be hot, and it is. Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the face of the earth and the sky. How is it you do not know how to interpret these times?
‘Why not judge for yourselves what is right? For example: when you go to court with your opponent, try to settle with him on the way, or he may drag you before the judge and the judge hand you over to the bailiff and the bailiff have you thrown into prison. I tell you, you will not get out till you have paid the very last penny.’
Reflection
In those days people are so good at predicting the weather. Today we are even more accurate with the power of the internet. However Christ is critical because the people could not see the worrying sign their relationship with God is getting further apart. Today it is no different. Many are getting apart from Hodand no attempt to reconcile. The example about going to court is about reconciliation. How close is your relationship with God?
Let us pray.
Lord Jesus open the eyes with my heart . I wanna see you .
Amen
