The readings today http://usccb.org/bible/readings/111511.cfm got me thinking. What would I do for Jesus? Eleazar in the first reading was willing to die for his faith. Even if there was something he can do to get out of the situation, he chose to die living for his faith.
In the gospel, Zacchaeus, a small but wealthy man, climed a tree to get a glimpse of Jesus. Maliit sya kaya di nya makita ng madali si Jesus. But it's noteworthy that even if he was rich, he climed the tree. Di sya nagpa sosyal or dinaan sa pera para makita nya si Jesus. He did what normal people would do. This shows that he was really looking for him..
These two people did different things for Jesus. Eleazar, a well respected elder, died for his faith. Zacchaeus, a tax collector, climbed a tree and changed his ways for Jesus..
No matter what we do... if we need to continue to do something good for Jesus, or if we need to change our ways for Jesus, we constantly need to do something for Jesus. We constantly need to remember to live for Him.. and have faith that when we finally meet him, he will say to us.. Well done, my faithful servant! Come, share your master's joy!
God bless!
