FRIDAY- 29th  WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME –C
Gospel: Luke 12:54-59: You know how to interpret the face of the earth and sky. How is it you do not know how to interpret these times?

The Three Gross Misconceptions of Man, 12:49-59
Jesus covered two gross misconceptions of man.
1. Misconception 1: The Messiah has not yet come (v.54-57)
a. Truth 1: people discern the weather, i.e. earthly events
b. Truth 2: people do not discern the signs of times, the Messianic age
c. Truth 3: people do not discern spiritual matters
2. Misconception 2: Men have no need to make peace with God (v.58-59)
a. Truth 1: people have a bad case before God, the judge
b. Truth 2: the time is urgent-“try hard”
c. Truth 3: The surety of payment, that is judgement
Thought: The believer is to love God first and foremost then his/her family.
