Waiting for the coming

Friday of Week 32 – 2 John 1:4-9; Ps 118:1-2,10-11,17-18; Luke 17:26-37

What does your life revolve around? What’s most important? If we’re honest, the immediate answers are often friends, a happy family, or a good job. Yet, today’s Gospel reminds us how easily these good, ordinary things can distract us from what truly matters, just as they did in the days of Noah and Lot.

As Christians, do our lives truly centre on God? Is His coming the event we eagerly await? Faith isn’t just a moral checklist or a set of behaviours to perfect. The heart of our faith is a relationship; it’s a life lived with Someone. While sermons on how to be a good parent or worker are necessary, they miss the point if they don’t lead us into a deeper friendship with Christ.

This is the real process of faith: becoming children of God and witnesses to Christ. The art is to intentionally deepen the one relationship that gives meaning to all others.

Jesus, among the many events and people around me, I want to know Your presence through them all.
