WHAT DETERMINES OUR FINAL MARK
Thursday in the 9th Week of the Ordinary Time
Mk 12:28-34
Jesus said to the scribe who questioned Him about the greatest of commandments, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” The scribe received a high score but it was not a perfect grade yet. Yes, the scribe was not far from the Kingdom but he was not there yet.
The scribe knew the greatest of commandments afterall. But it is not knowing what to do that brings us to heaven; it is actually doing what the commandment says. Wisdom may help us see the path that leads to the Kingdom of God, but it is obedience to God that brings us there. When all is said and done, what really matters is not what we know but what we do. Let us keep this in mind because we when the final exam in life comes, it will certainly determine our final mark.
