Week 8 - The Journey Day 5
"Which of the two did his father's will?" They answered, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you." Matthew 21:31
Conversion of heart. Jesus looks at His accusers and seeks for them to come and know what He knows. He understands human nature and also knows they must think on their own. He answers a question with a question, knowing it is the only way to get His point across. The Son of God, filled with love seeks their souls for His Fathers glory.
How many times do we stand in judgement and want to fight back, to prove we are right. God knew the truth but He has to help His accusers come to the truth. Only thru love will we be able we to help another, helping them question their own reasoning to see the error of their ways. The Son of Man didn't come to condemn but to point to the truth.
By what authority do you do these things? It is only thru the gifts of the Holy Spirit do we do these things. Jesus as Son of Man, cooperates fully with the Holy Spirit, this is the journey, Amen.
What is God saying to me? In sitting still and using the gifts I have given you, your intellect, your vision, your perception, you gain insight to My Son, your brother.
Dear Father, it is like You are peeling an onion back and sharing an insight that was not there before. In our journey together, You are opening up scripture and the purpose it was written for. We are visual in nature and in these insights there is a deeper meaning for each of us to grasp. Thank You Father for these summer days, thank You for the time to sit and ponder and the desire to do so. I can so easily get distracted and not give You the most Important part of my day. Prayers of thanksgiving for prayers answered, You hear our pleas and You have answered them. You are Loving Father, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Love, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Terror of Demons, Pray for us.

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
