The story of the rich young man, one of the rulers of Israel, reveals the surprising truth that we can come to Jesus but not follow Him. We need to untie ourselves from this world to enjoy that meaningful relationship with Jesus offered by the invitation “Come to Me.” The rich young man received the same invitation as Pater, John, and the other disciples. It’s important to come to Jesus at the right time and ask the right question, but that is not enough. We must follow Him. Daily!

While heading to Jerusalem to lay down His life for our salvation, Jesus found time for children, to take them in His arms and bless them. We found the meaning of blessing in the context of the story of Cration. Moreover, Jesus uses the simple, unsophisticated faith of children as a metaphor for our relationship with God. All people, children or adults, have a special place in the arms of the Heavenly Father! And in his heart!

Workers in the Vineyard

The parable of the workers in the vineyard reveals a dimension of salvation that some may perceive as unfairness. And indeed, forgiveness which is the core of redemption, is somehow unfair. It was unfair for the thief on the cross to be forgiven and awarded heaven after doing so much evil in his life. But that is not unfair in the eyes of the whole universe, because by dying on the cross, Jesus earned the right to forgive and count us as righteous. This parable is about God’s generosity to forgive and save us.
