Luke 10:13-16
Jesus said to His disciples, “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you,
Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in
Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented, sitting in sackcloth
and ashes. But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the
judgment than for you. And as for you, Capernaum, ‘Will you be exalted
to heaven? You will go down to the netherworld.’ Whoever listens to you
listens to Me. Whoever rejects you rejects Me. And whoever rejects Me
rejects the one who sent Me.”
Reflection:
Whoever listens to you listens to Me… and… the one who sent Me.
Whatever we do has a lateral effect. The boss berates his employee. The
disgusted employee goes home and scolds his wife. The wife gets angry
with the kids. The kids fight with one another. This irritates the
father who returns to the office angry at his boss. A positive action
causes a similar chain reaction. For every action, our science teacher
used to tell us, is a corresponding reaction.
So it is with God’s grace. It is passed on to us and we pass it on.
It should not stop with us. If something negative is thrown at us, we
should pass on positive vibes to break the cycle and receive grace in
return.
Pass on a good story/joke/act to everyone you meet this week.
