Tuesday of the 26th Week in Ordinary Time - Luke
9:51-56
Today’s Gospel reading is a foreshadowing of
Jesus’s crucifixion and death. Jesus knew his arrest and death were likely, yet
he held fast to his decision to travel to Jerusalem. He knew it was likely that
he would be arrested. He also suspected that he might even die. Can you imagine
the storm of emotions that must have been whirling around in Jesus’s mind and
heart? Yet he decided to make the journey to Jerusalem.
Throughout the Gospels we see evidence of Jesus’s
faith and trust in God. Today’s reading is a clear example of the depth of
trust Jesus had in God. Do we have such faith? I hope so. We have to nurture
our faith and trust in God each and every day. This creates a foundation and a
relationship with God that will support and sustain us whenever we are in need.
Today and every day let’s ask Jesus to deepen our trust and faith in him!
