THURSDAY- 30th WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME –B
Gospel: Luke 13:31-35: It would not be right for a prophet to die
outside Jerusalem.
I Reading: Romans 8:31-39:
No
created thing can ever come between us and the love of God made visible in
Christ.
The Tragic Rejection of Jesus, Lk 13:31-35
Jesus
Christ has always been rejected and opposed by people. This passage deals with
persons who rejected Jesus Christ.
- Some Pharisees
warned Jesus about a plot to kill Him (v.31).
- The rejection by
political leaders (v.31-33)
a.
His
ministry will be completed
b.
His
walk today, tomorrow and the day after “must continue”
c.
His
death must be diligently pursued in Jerusalem
- The rejection by
the religionists and the people (v.34)
a.
They
killed God’s prophets and messengers
b.
They
rejected the Messiah’s salvation
- The warning to all
those who reject Jesus (v.35)
a.
They
will be forsaken by God
b.
There
will be a day when Jesus will return and rule supremely
Thought: How
many of us know the divine necessity of God to witness? How many of us walk
today and tomorrow under the direction (divine necessity) of God?
