God through Moses set the Israelite captives free from their oppressors, the Egyptians. True, the Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptian people and rulers. But Egypt also is a reference with slavery or sin. Sin enslaves. Not long after Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt and brought them to the border of the Promised Land, the Israelites’ faith failed them because they believed the reports of spies about the enemy ahead. They believed that God could not overcome the enemies. Because of their unbelief, God sent them into the wilderness to wander around until that generation died.
THE COST OF FOLLOWING JESUS
Do you ever thing about the costs of being a follower of Jesus? I don’t think about it very often that is until persecution comes my way. Being put down, bullied, ostracized, shut out, looked at with those eye rolls or side glances, it’s no fun. Has it ever happened to you? It has to me on many occasion. One holy priest told me, if you are getting persecuted you must be doing something right. I’ve found that to be a good encouragement when persecution comes my way. The converse of that for a Christian might be, if I’m not facing any persecution, am I really speaking truth or living out my Christian faith? Good question. Continue reading
LIFE IS FULL OF GREAT OPPORTUNITIES
So many demands, requests, and opportunities, and so little time to do them all. Let’s face it, you can’t do everything. But I enjoy being involved in EVERYTHING!
Even before junior high, when the flood gates to extracurricular activities opened-up at my Catholic school, I was ALL IN. I played every sport, participated in band, choir, student government, plays, musicals…… I did it all. Every school activity and club that was available to me, I did.. and with gusto. I gave it my all.
Fr. Mike Schmitz talks about God’s plan for your life and how to find it.
“A people living in darkness has seen a great light.” —Matthew 4:16
When I was a kid, on the Feast of Epiphany, I had the esteemed job of moving the three king figures from our family manger scene into the barn to bring their gifts to Jesus. Funny thing was one of glass kings had a foot problem. Not sure if he had a broken foot or the figure was just flawed in some way, but he always tipped forward. A 30-second task turned into many minutes of frustration trying to finagle that king into a position to keep him standing up, rather than falling down flat on his face in front of Jesus.
“How beautiful…are the feet of Him Who brings glad tidings.” —Isaiah 52:7
In the days before modern global communications, messengers ran or walked to deliver their news transmissions. They brought news from loved ones in far-off places to people who could not travel. These messengers were most welcome couriers.
During the season of Christmas, we celebrate a pair of tiny, beautiful feet (Is 52:7) — those of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In times past God sent His messages “in fragmentary and varied ways…through the prophets” (Heb 1:1). “In this, the final age, He has spoken to us through His Son,” Jesus Christ, the Messenger from heaven (Heb 1:2). In Jesus, we have been given the best possible news: the fullness of divine revelation and the establishment of the Church, the Body of Christ, so that God’s messages will continue.
