a personal reflection on today's Gospel Matthew 20:17-28 (Mar 20,2019)
What did you give up for Lent?
I gave up my favorite soda. BEFORE LENT, COKE ZERO. DURING LENT, ZERO COKE. Yun lang? Well, I fast from other things also but the Coke thing is what want to share in this post.
Coke lang? Isn't that too simple? Maybe. But actually, anything that we do this Lent is nothing compared to what HE did.
"the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified....." - Matthew 20:18-19
Make simple choices for Jesus because everything is simple compared to what God did for you.
Choose love over lust, dialogue over debate, to forgive over keeping your pride & serving others instead of using people. This Lent, put more emphasis on service. Always make yourself available for others. Serve others because "even as the Son of man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." - Matthew 20:28
Make Lent more meaningful. Make choices for the glory of Jesus.
Have a blessed Wednesday! - alvinfabella@yahoo.com
