Man and prayer
19.12. Advent time Luke 1: 5-25
To arouse more faith in people
God is not a garbage collector; he chooses as his faithful, especially those who went through the fire of mental or physical pain. Here we can see it nicely in the parent’s st. John the Baptist. In the Gospels, we have heard God choose Jesus as the father of Jesus’ predecessor, the pious man Zacharias. The discussion of Zechariah and Elizabeth begins a new period of salvation, the coming to the Messiah. The Lord God develops His work in history by building on what He has done.
The event is taking place in Jerusalem. It announces the birth of John the Baptist, who to prepare the way for the Lord. Despite his desecration, Jerusalem was a saint in the city. In the middle of it lay the temple of Israel’s holiest land on which it met a nation with the most precious, and that was the living God of Israel. Here in this magnificent temple, the Lord God begins to carry out a new work of salvation. Luke’s pericope of the gospel speaks about the events that took place in the temple, how Jesus was brought to the temple after his birth.
Simeon’s prophecy will be heard in the temple, and twelve-year-old Jesus will go to the temple and deliver there the first testimony of his mission. Jesus later taught in the temple. We see that throughout history, the great events of Jesus’ life took place in the temple. Someone may say, but I also go to church. Yes, we go, and it’s very correctly. The question is, “Why do we go to church, and what does it give us?” We believe what God tells us through the priest’s mediator, or shall I say to myself? “But let the priest he tells, and we will do our own thing anyway. ” Our faith is not just about that we will go to church and do nothing, but we don’t even have to Don’t even trust God. After all, today, we see it in Zechariah, who was even a priest and his trust in God was weak when he told him that a son would be born to him, and we know his distrust turned out.
We, too, can say to ourselves that we are people of the temple because we flee to everyday church we worship God and give thanks for the blessings, which our heavenly Father. But we do not often act as Zechariah did. We are many times in a situation where our trust in God is weakened or even non-existent. We pray for some good besides our belief that this goodness from Heavenly Father we get is minimal. Will our prayer be answered in that case? Definitely not.
Then let us not complain that our prayers are not answered. With prayer and supplications, the greatest confidence in hearing prayer must also be united. The Heavenly Father let us come with faith and determination to listen to him and what he will tell us accordingly Act.
The Lord invites us to serve Him, as Zechariah does. So let’s be human prayers and great faith.
