Matthew 21:33-43 45-46
The gospel message is very clear today. The death of an innocent, the violent beating of servants, and a plot, foretold, to arrest Jesus. It is also the mind of dual thinking, stinking thinking. Being able to be at peace with circumstances and people leads us to the kingdom of God. We are told that for those that are jealous and envious of others, they will lose that peace. There is turmoil and anxiety about how to be better or do better than someone else. We are number one. That's a tough place to start.
The closer we come to being in union with the Divine, the less important things of this world are. The things that can lead us to a dark and dangerous place, such as power, money, and honor among men are no longer what motivates our actions. We come from a place of poverty. We no longer look for praise and honor among men and being recognized for our accomplishments becomes of little importance. We are serving Christ in the people in our life. We see the Divine in all things and people and we are aware of the importance of safe guarding that treasure.
Meet people and circumstances as they are. Be present.
