Helping You Grow Your Faith

God’s power is defined in today’s reading. This is the way the Kingdom of God works. It is symbolized very clearly in the fox and the hen. The world is like the fox. The fox has power that is defined by control and dominance. The Kingdom of God is like the hen. The hen protects, nurtures, and accepts. It is clear, that God’s way is the harder way. And that is our calling as God’s children.

Jesus concludes todays reading with a heartfelt plea. You can see in His words His great desire to save the people of Jerusalem. Those words and that plea are also meant for us. Jesus wants us to come to Him, but He will not force it. There is so much He would love to do for us, but we are the ones who must turn to Him.

In our reading Jesus realizes that the power of this world will soon kill Him, and yet courageously keeps speaking the truth to us. Are you willing to hear what He says or perhaps more importantly, are you ready to turn to God with whatever you are going through?

This weeks gospel message

Give up Holding on to Pain

Forgiveness is today’s topic. For some of us that word causes us some anxiety. We want to forgive others, but we find excuses for our lack of living it out. This is a complicated topic. And we know at some level that forgiveness is really the way to freedom. Jesus sets the stage with a parable. We meet a King who is beyond gracious to a slave. And then that same slave is beyond stingy with his own grace and mercy toward another slave. He has no grace. Jesus uses inequality to make a dramatic point. The point is this. Can we forgive as God has forgiven us? The benefit of forgiveness is freedom in life. If we forgive, we move on and live in freedom. We lose the pain, the anger, the bitterness and our hearts can be opened up again. I encourage you to always move toward forgiveness. Take that road because it will lead to the places you want to go.
