BETTER VIEW
.jpg)
Thursday of the 16th Week in Ordinary Time
Mt 13:10-17
We are blest indeed! We have an advantage over the People of the Old Testament. We can look and understand the meaning of life and humanity in the light of God’s revelation in His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus is the key to understanding all of creation because He is God’s final, complete, definitive revelation of God.
Because they lived prior to the incarnation of Jesus Christ, the People of the Old Testament, as it were, grope in the dark with only the light of faith to rely on. Their faith is even more heroic because they believed not after the final, complete, and definitive revelation of God in Jesus Christ but before. Their heroic faith is manifested even more heroically by the unwavering hope they had in the fidelity of God.
We are blest because we, as it were, stand on the shoulders of the People of God in the Old Testament. We have a better view. But do we have better lives?

Lord Jesus, we praise and thank you that you gave us the Old and New Testament as our Guide in our life. May we be able to share it to others and have better lives.
God bless po.
