Tuesday of the First Week of Advent - Luke
10:21-24
Today’s Gospel follows the passage
where Jesus sends forth 72 of his disciples. He had sent them out in
pairs to preach the good news. When they returned, the disciples were
jubilant because even the devils were subject to them.
At the point when Jesus heard all
that the disciples had experienced and done, He rejoiced and praised God
saying: “Father, I offer you praise because of what you have hidden from the
learned and the clever, you have revealed to children. You have
graciously willed it so.” Then He said to His disciples: “No one knows
the Father but the Son. . . and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.”
If we wish to “know” the Father, we
additionally need to know Jesus. If we know Jesus and believe in Him as
the disciples did, Jesus will reveal the Father to us to us. Jesus came
to earth to save us and show us how to love. Jesus also sends us forth to
“preach the good news.” Ask yourself: How do I preach “the good news” of
Jesus? Do I preach by my actions, my choices and by striving to be a
loving human being?
