Friday Week 16 Year A By Tobe Eze

Friday Week 16 Year A

First Reading:

Exodus 20:1-17

Gospel:

Matthew 13:18-23

THEME: THEY ARE FOR US TO CHANGE OUR WAYS.

Laws are made to help people in life. Laws that God gave his people, were for them to change from their evil ways of life to a better one. These laws are divided into two, love of God and love of our fellow human being. If we claim that we love God and we hate our fellow human being, the love is incomplete. Because we divide these laws and take only the one for God and forget our fellow human being, Jesus decided to explain the parable more for us to know that, they are all for us. Both those that fell on the road, rocky, thorny and good soil. So these laws are for us all. We are to make sure that we keep them and they will make us fertile for the word to bear fruits that will last in us and people around us will see it in work in our lives. It will be a disaster that we hear the word of God daily but there is no positive change in our lives. May we change our bad ways so that we can bear fruits in 30s, 40s, 60s and even 100s. Thanks.
