Holy Gospel of the Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 10, 24-33
‘A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a slave above the master; it is enough for the disciple to be like the teacher, and the slave like the master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household! ‘So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered, and nothing secret that will not become known. What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim from the housetops. Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground unperceived by your Father. And even the hairs of your head are all counted. So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows. ‘Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven; but whoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven’.
No disciple is above his teacher
1) Your place: Many times, we get disoriented, we fall into the temptation believing we are greater than we are. This can happen if we feel we have a better job than someone else, or if we think we are better than anyone else. I have seen people change significantly after they have been given a promotion, even within the church. We must remember we are not better than anyone else. We are all on this journey together.
2) Clarity: Everything comes to light sooner or later, so don’t be afraid of what may be said about you on the journey. People talk. Sooner or later, it all comes out in the open. Hold your head high during those trying times. What is important to remember is that the truth always comes out.
3) The Father: Remember who we work for: GOD. He is the essence of all we do. God is always with us in our daily life; continually journeying with us, not just a spectator. As long as we ask for it, He will work through us.
God bless you in the name of The Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
…and do not forget: Heaven is our Goal!
