Dear Brothers and sisters
Today's gospel speaks about temptations of Jesus Christ. We have three things in this. First is Jesus Christ -representing an ordinary man yet with the power of God -God himself second we have the devil and third we have the earth. God allows devil to tempt Jesus for He has given Jesus to us as an ordinary man and so can be tempted. Make these stones into bread- Many times we think about the earthly food, earthly money- try to make provisions. We try to convert stones into bread meaning convert the earth into money. This is applicable in today's life. God has created hills for its purpose, fields for its purpose and trees for its purpose.Man wants to convert these into money by cutting trees, destroying fields and forests. We are trying to bring disaster into our life. Man does not live on bread alone but by the word of God. IN today's life man rally aborbs the word of God. In that our way towards salvation hasbeen mentioned. God himself has given the ten commandments which Jesus has modified into two which are more than enough yet we find it so difficult. The ancient christians lived by love. They built houses under one roof, helped one another at the time of need. During the wedding time each family would loan out something or other. Labour was free, halls were free as peiople built temporary areas outside their houses. People from the locality took part in the wedding and enjoyed for several days.Today we have become so self centred. We have weddings in rich environment, invite only the ones that are of our nature,. Many times relations and neighbours are left out. The whole locality does not take part in the celebration which mostly is expensive celebration but without quality. Today even funerals have become comerciallised and many times the body of the dead person is not at home .Many times we do not feel any loss. human beings have become mechanised.we are trying to convert stones into bread. We forget about the religious aspects of the wholething. In another place the devil shows Jesus the entire city with all its riches. Adore me andyou take this. Today we are not worried about adoring the true God. In fact we have no religion which Jesus Christ has created with his blood. we adore the devil to get his riches, to get his legacy. bribes, unwanted perks, etc etc fills our hearts with pleasure rather than bowing our heads to God the Almighty and like Mary says" here am I , the handmaid of the Lord tell me your plan and I will follow it. I shall adore only my God. The choice is yours albert _________________________________________________________________ Post ads for free - to sell, rent or even buy.www.yello.in http://ss1.richmedia.in/recurl.asp?pid=186
