Thought for the Day
Be ready to be surprised! Mark’s Gospel is brief and to the point. (Mark 1:21-28) They went into Capernaum...Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.) But what is the point? The point is that Mark's Gospel is not finished. . .until it is finished in you! The people were astonished and surprised at Jesus' demonstration of power even over the demons. But the ones who were most surprised were the demons themselves. It is not surprising that the devil and his cohorts must bow in obedience to almighty God. What is surprising is that almighty God now stands before them in this seemingly weak, mortal human being named Jesus! When we hear, receive and believe this Gospel, we are surprised that, by means of our Holy Baptism, we are now empowered to battle the devil and all his works and all his ways. More than that, we look forward to the surprise of the resurrection of the body and the life of the world to come.
Life Sunday - “I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live” ( Deuteronomy 30:19). The choice set before us really runs deeper than life and death. When faced with difficult situations, do we trust in God to be with and help us or do we turn to “other gods” offered by the world? We can trust God! We can make God-pleasing choices! Why? Because God has chosen us in Christ Jesus to be His special people!
