The Message & The Messenger
1 Tim 3:14–16; Ps 110; Lk 7:31–35)
In today’s Gospel, Jesus exposes a dangerous habit: rejecting God’s messengers because they don’t fit our expectations. John the Baptist came fasting, they called him mad. Jesus came eating and drinking, they called him a drunk. Two different styles, one divine mission; yet both despised.
Messengers beware; a holy message needs a holy messenger, stay pure so the message stays powerful! God’s message is not for our entertainment; it’s for our transformation. True ministers are not showmen, they are servants. Don’t push them to please you; push yourself to please God. God’s message is one, dont edit it, dont dilute it. One message, one truth!
In the first reading, Paul reminds Timothy that we are God’s household, a Church built on truth. Let’s stay truthful and fruitful.
Prayer:
Lord, give us humble hearts to recognize Your voice, respect Your messengers, and live Your message with courage. Amen.
