If everything in your life comes down to gain or loss, what or how do you think you lose or at a loss if you surrender everything to and for God who created you and gave you life?
Many today have left our Church because the teaching and traditions handed down from Jesus Himself through His Apostles and disciples had became incompatible with their personal desires for wealth and recognition. How sad indeed! for they are blind to the surpassing wealth of knowledge, graces and blessings we receive from God our Father through His Son. All of which the World can neither afford nor purchase with all it’s wealth! Still our loving Father is calling all who have turned away, come home to me…..I will make all things possible for you….
The way of a disciple is never always easy and at often times may seem impossible. But with God all things are possible and with Jesus in our heart, what have we to fear? Let us always stay focussed on our Lord Jesus, the one we love with all our heart and of whom we serve. He is with us for all eternity. Amen
GOSPEL
Matthew 19:23–30
Jesus said to his disciples:
“Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of heaven. Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.” When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For men this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.” Then Peter said to him in reply, “We have given up everything and followed you. What will there be for us?” Jesus said to them, “Amen, I say to you that you who have followed me, in the new age, when the Son of Man is seated on his throne of glory, will yourselves sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for the sake of my name will receive a hundred times more, and will inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”
