What is Your Interest
Reading Today: Matthew 5:13-16
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205:13-16

Wars, robberies, murders and other crimes are the cruel and inhuman side of people. Think about it, humans, being inhuman! However, there is another side to the coin. One of the mysteries of man is his desire to be interested in his fellow man and take care of him.

There are people sending help to other people in need in other parts of the world. They want, thereby to alleviating hunger, cure diseases, help those in their time of need and often in catastrophic circumstances.

Jesus told His disciples that they were the salt of the earth and light of the world. This brings a special responsibility over Christians; to take care of others. The gift of caring for others comes from God and reflects his will.

Jesus transmits the power of the energy that transforms a selfish humanity with no regard for others and cruel, in people who are genuinely interested in his fellow man, interest that leads to action.

The true disciple of Christ lives to serve. This is natural in life, where selfishness was defeated by the grace and love of Christ.

What is your interest?

Good News To All

Jesus Order

Look around you. What do you see? A worn out world; a sad and ugly reality; where selfishness, violence and immorality are close to an embarrassing level. Therefore, as Christians, we are called to bring light to the darkness, joy where there is sadness, peace where discord prevail, life where there is death.

Jesus left, for all Christians, a very clear order to this effect: ” Then he told them: Go and preach the good news to everyone in the world.” (Mark 16:15 CEV)

We interpret that order as the most tender expression of God’s love for us, God’s love for all who are tired, sad, hurt, and desperate.

To bring Christ to others, we must repudiate, with all our heart, all sins, the attachment to material goods and selfishness; giving to Jesus the absolute control of our thoughts, intentions and actions.

We must pray and ask today, “Lord Jesus, give me the ability to spread your love to this lost and confused world, May I become a light where the darkness of sin and evil are present. Let me be love where hatred and discord prevail, in your name”. Amen.
