Gospel: Luke
6:43-49
(Jesus
said to his disciples) “A good tree does not bear rotten fruit, nor does a
rotten tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For
people do not pick figs from thornbushes, nor do they gather grapes from
brambles. A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces
good, but an evil person out of a store of evil produces evil; for from the
fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.
“Why do you
call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I command? I will show you what someone
is like who comes to me, listens to my words, and acts on them. That one is
like a man building a house, who dug deeply and laid the foundation on rock; when
the flood came, the river burst against that house but could not shake it
because it had been well built. But the one who listens and does not act is
like a person who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the
river burst against it, it collapsed at once and was completely destroyed.”

Reflection:
Who is
the foundation of your life? If Jesus is the foundation of your life you’re in
the hands of the most powerful rock of this world. Nothing can defeat you and
nothing can destroy you because your life is strongly founded in Jesus.
Should
you rest already and feel secure because you trusted your life in Jesus? No,
because you have a mission and your mission is to share the gentleness of Jesus
to your fellowmen. Remember that you are the good tree that Jesus mentions in
the gospel and out of your goodness you must share your fruit which is no other
than Jesus.
Let us
not keep our love for Jesus to ourselves let us share this burning love with
others so that they too will feel the love of Jesus. They too will feel the
healing and forgiveness of Jesus because Jesus is very much needed today more than any
other time in our history.
Just
imagine those who live their lives without the guidance of Jesus there are
hundreds even millions of them. If you share Jesus even to only one of them you
have already fulfilled your mission as His fruitful follower. And who knows by
your courage of sharing Jesus you may change lives because you cared to share
Jesus.
Will you
care to share Jesus? - Marino J. Dasmarinas
