We could not fully understand that God wants a close relationship with us without Jesus being born to live as one of us. He then continued to share the message of God’s love in terms of family and community.
Some people understood parts of His teaching, but others felt threatened by it. They wanted to keep their way of life, not making a place for God.
We are at a similar place, where we have to choose, daily, to accept or reject God fitting into our lives. How do we respond?
Our Lenten and Easter seasons are all about preparing our lives to include God. We are also challenged to build up our family and community relationships. Then we must support and encourage each other in our faith journeys; then God is present wherever we are, to all.
Jesus’ life, ministry, suffering, death and resurrection are signs that God considers us worth the sacrifice and the reward – eternal life together. Receive what God offers, be changed and share the renewed you!
