THE CHOICE TO FOLLOW
We are advised: “Don’t enter Christianity under false pretences. Living as a Christian is living as Christ in the world.” Christianity is thus a matter of choice and not an accident. The First Reading reminds us of the unique relationship God has had with His people. God comes to the rescue of His people and gives them His blessings and graces. Saint Paul tells us that we are made right with God through Jesus Christ. He challenges us to be dead to sin and be alive to God. Jesus tells us, “One who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and one who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.” Through this teaching of Jesus, he invites us to a profound union with him that may even lead us to take up the cross. We need to humble ourselves, let go of everything in this world, and cling to Jesus and him alone.
