Luke 11: 14-23
We can take the advice from the gospel today and recognize the importance of following Jesus. We can stay in our old brain paths of wrong doing and sin, or we can open our hearts to the Love that God offers us in the work of the Spirit.
Here Jesus works a miracle and the righteous are ready to critique Him. But, Jesus isn't pressured, He lets them know right from the start that His work is a product of Love and Love flows from the Spirit of God.
Now, to take that "with me or against me" and relate that to our response, so as not to be divided, we take the road of the gospel and the message of the beatitudes and the words of Jesus and put them to practice. When you meet resistance, find a common ground and meet there, let our life example be the medium to proclaim the gospel.
All fall short of the glory of God, but we walk in faith with Christ who bore the burden of humanity's sins and died that we may be shown the way to eternal life. We will be transformed into the image of the father.
Pick an opposing view today, sit with it, be still, and look from there. Empathy goes a long way in life!
