Gospel: Mark
1:21-28
Jesus
came to Capernaum, and on the sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and taught. The
people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having
authority and not as the scribes. In their synagogue was a man with an unclean
spirit; he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you
come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God! Jesus rebuked him
and said, “Quiet! Come out of him!” The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a
loud cry came out of him. All were amazed and asked one another, “What is this?
A new teaching with authority. He commands even the unclean spirits and they
obey him. His fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee.

Reflection:
A gay
person was trying very hard to change his ways, he wanted to become straight
for He was already tired of his hidden life.
But every time he tries to change the devil would always present itself
to him and he would always succumb to his evil temptations.
He had a
dream one night and in that dream Jesus told him, “I will change you if you
will allow me to change you.” Oh yes my Lord he told Jesus and Jesus
subsequently told him, read the book that contains me. Read more about me there
and let my words sink into you. As he
woke-up in the morning the first book that he saw was their dusty bible. He
read it and from thereon he read it everyday and true enough he was changed by
Jesus.
Do you
want to feel the authority of Jesus? Begin by knowing more about His life by
reading your bible. Try reading it initially by yourself and as your read try
to feel every words of Jesus reflect on it and let it sink in to you. Do this
daily, let Jesus speak directly to you and then notice the authority of Jesus working
in your life.
As you
let His authority work in your life notice the change that will happen to you.
Perhaps if you’re self-centered you will now slowly but surely become more Christ
centered. If you’re arrogant and domineering you will now become humble and
gentle. However for this to happen, you have to know more about Jesus.
You have
to recognize His authority over you and this could only happen if you will take
time to know more about His life changing story in the bible. This could only
happen if you will give Jesus even a little of your precious time everyday.

want to feel the authority of Jesus? – Marino J. Dasmarinas
