When we follow the Lord Jesus, we must dedicate ourselves to following His footsteps, for only through Jesus can we see the Father and will the Spirit animate us all through. The gospel reading is not just a reminder to Jesus’ disciples but more so an exhortation to all of us today, to us who are the followers of Jesus. As baptized Christians, we shall experience what the Lord Jesus had undergone. For those who will follow the Lord Jesus will also take the road Jesus had taken. Today’s reading inspires the faithful to make life decisions according to His will and everything will be alright. Jesus’ disciples became God’s messengers of God for he has revealed himself to them. Let us listen to the Word and do the will of the Father for this is the right thing to do. The Lord will give us rest so we can carry on with life. This is why following the Lord means taking one’s yoke and expecting that life will be burdensome-but there will be rest. Unless everyone is transformed in the Lord, people will always cause other peoples’ sufferings and pains.

His dying and rising from the dead had summarized it all the love of God in its maxim.įollowing the Lord Jesus Christ does not guarantee that there will be no more suffering, pain, and injustice. Through Jesus, the love of God has been manifested concretely among his disciples and to the world. Jesus is the embodiment of the Trinitarian God who became flesh and lived among us. That is why we have now have life in God.

The Father has entrusted everyone and everything to Jesus and by hi coming, our severed relationship with God is now restored. The promise of salvation of the Father is completed in Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ is sent by God who is the Father of Jesus so that everything will come into fulfillment. That is why we have to know our God and establish a good relationship with Him through prayer and service for others. Truly, He is our only hope, our salvation. A God who listens to us when we call on him who shows mercy and compassion when we are in despair and who gives strength when we are tired. It is very essential for us to see and know God and see Him as our protector and comforter. While others turn to God for relief and refuge, some distance from God.

Yes lord for the rest of my days
