For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world might be saved through him
Yes , like every parent I know, wants to teach their child a lesson about life and good and bad … they never punish their child with intent of condemnation or accusation but to evaluate how their mistake could be rectified in future!
Of course, some days God does more parenting than others but like children, we have faith that parents still love us! Even after numerous arguements and fights, I know my mom will cook my favourite meal and feed me with her very own hands as I return home!
God is like a parent to all so much love and forgiveness he even gave his beloved son to us! He loves us so much! and yet repeatedly we hurt and disobey the Lords orders!
Rather, he emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
coming in human likeness;
and found human in appearance,
he humbled himself,
becoming obedient to death,
even death on a cross.
and Jesus leads us all by example for being the ideal son / daughter who becomes human – humble and obedient to his Mother and His purpose! While this weekend I had time to clear the clutter in my home and my prayer life I realised I need to focus on my purpose of being a doctor more than ever!
Let us all look upto the cross like the people on the first reading today with faith that we may be cured of our afflictions and issues! Praise the Lord for his Grace and mercy!
AMEN
