Ezekiel t7:zz-24 / z Corinthians 5:6-ro / Mark 4:26-34

I have a good sense of direction. lf I drive by a place, I can usually find my way back, walking or driving as much by instinct that says, "lthink it's over that way a little," as by any street names or landmarks. I like following unknown paths in the woods just to see where they lead. I almost always find my way back with a minimum of backtracking.

This bothers my husband, who is a firm believer in maps, map apps, and telling him when to turn. Often he ignores them to take a different route, but he is comforted by their presence and reliably gets from point A to point B. GPS voices

"We walk by faith and not by sight," St. Paul says. He may not have had a store in mind, but in a very realway he wastalking about getting from point A to point B-from our wandering in this world to our home with God. He was talking about making it out of our spiritual woods into the light of day and making discoveries along the way.

We see as human beings do and not as God does. Paul suggests we find our waythrough ourfaith in God, who is light in ourdarkness, the path on which we walk, our goal and destination.

Our longing to know where we are going is satisfied when we realize we are going to him. Some will take detours and get utterly lost. Others will rely on maps, and still others will follow those who have gone before-the saints who are our examples or Christ himself. Walking by faith isn't easy, but God will get us to where we are going if we trust in him.

PAD Rf,

Wlry is there such a dffirence betweett the genealogy ofJesus otttlined in Mattheru 1 and Luke 4:23?

o

o o o o o o o o o o o o iflf, o o o o a

a

o

Matthew wrote his Gospel story first. He was a Jewish man who wanted to tell hisJewish audience thatJesus was the long -awaited Messiah, the savior who had come. He needed to show thatJesus was part of the long tradition of the people of God, starting with Abraham, the father of the faith.

O

Luke was a Greek writing to Gentiles. He accompanied St. Paul on his many missionary journeys. His listeners and readers knew very little ofJewish culture and tradition. Luke wanted to show that Jesus had come as savior and redeemer of all races and all peoples. So he starts with Adam, the father of us all, and says salvation is now universal. Your last name and skin color are immaterial.

a

o

a

This belief of universal salvation will reach its fullness in the doctrine of the Mystical Body of Christ, in which all of us are included. Christ is the head, and we are the members of the one body that is the Church. Keep reading the word of God for more wonderful insights.
