This morning's reading reminds us the "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." It is amazing to me how the words of Jesus apply to life in anyplace on the planet at any time. A priest friend of mine once proclaimed Jesus the world's greatest philosopher. Christ's parables and interactions relate to human conditions that continue to exist until today, as well as our human nature, not just to the people of Israel 2000+ years ago. It is because of this divine nature of His teachings that we can open the bible randomly to any page on any day and read a passage and find it will apply to a situation currently in our life. Try it. I doubted the first time I heard this, but it is true. This is a testament to the fact that Jesus is ever present in our lives from before we were born (just a twinkle in mom and dad's eyes), throughout our lives and with us when this life is complete.
So how can we not proclaim Jesus as savior? Constantly guiding us on the true path of peace and love, Jesus rescues us from the fears, worries and downfalls of this life and gives us the strength and desire to go forward confident that one day we will be rewarded. Without this belief, how can life be worthwhile?
-Peace.
