Are there people in your life who are so important that if they reached out, you would drop everything? Is Jesus on that list?
In today’s gospel, we have a story where people were dropping everything to follow Jesus. The Pharisees felt threatened and so they slowly build a case against Our Lord and he was arrested and brought to Pilate.
Jesus speaks to Pilate about the truth. He even says, ”Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.” When we allow Jesus to enter our hearts, we begin to hear His voice and so He becomes the King of our thoughts, words and actions. We allow ourselves to surrender to love and live in true honesty, forgiveness and humility. We take a real look inside and see the truth of our own human weaknesses and unite in a deeper relationship with Christ the King.
He encourages us to build true relationships with others. We find the courage to tell the truth no matter what and so we put Jesus on our list of important people and become Warriors of His Truth. There is no better person to connect with than Our Lord. So whatever you are facing now in your life, the joys, the struggles, the anxieties or the calm, remember that Our Lord is calling all of us to follow Him more closely.
God Bless You All!
