Week 7 - The Journey Day 2
"Amen, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."Matthew 16:28
What is Jesus saying? I sat this morning with the disciples as Jesus spoke these words. Is it any wonder they were confused as Jesus speaks plainly, they still had not experienced the living God and there He was in their midst. We sit and read scripture not grasping what Jesus is saying, it requires God to reveal it to us. Quiet contemplation with Jesus.
Jesus had to die before He comes into His kingdom and in a sense we have to die(to self) before Jesus comes in. As the mystical body of Christ, the church, we will see Jesus in His kingdom if we let Him in. There is so much packed within one verse. Jesus has told the disciples that He is the messiah, He is their savior and they have yet to understand. When Christ enters in because when He knocks you open the door to your heart, each day, in a sense this is Heaven, may not feel like Heaven but where Christ is, He can not die twice. Have a blessed day, Jesus speaks, we listen.
What is God saying to me? Be patient.
Dear Father, You are a mystery, you are a witness to us when we take the time to be directed by You. Father, I seen Your Son teaching this morning, I seen Him looking at the disciples knowing they didn't understand and with His help, He brings them to a deeper understanding. I see You at work bringing about Your kingdom and preparing us for what tomorrow holds. Thank You for another day to sit at Your feet and the gift of hearing and seeing. You have the words of ever lasting life, bless this day and all it has to offer as You send us into it. Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Model of Workmen, Pray for us.
