Let us not cast out God

Let us protect God in our hearts
Surely we have all come across that well-meaning advice, help offered
was, on the other hand, misunderstood and rejected. The Lord Jesus experienced a similar situation. After banishing the evil spirits from the two men came to him from the city and “begged him to leave the region” (Mt 8.34). Everything rushes out to Jesus, but not to greet him as a victor over the demons, but they want to ask him to leave their region. The reasons for this request there can be two. The first reason may be that people blamed Jesus for giving destroy the whole herd of pigs. However, this view is gradually abandoned and the biblical scholars they incline to a second explanation of why Jesus had to leave. Gergesens is not happy that two possessed men were healed. They did not recognize the miracle healing that God’s prophet – the Son of God – the Messiah – came to them. They feel only terror and fear of what happened and begs, “Get away from us.” The Gergesens  did not accept Jesus, although he did everything to attract them to himself to make them sons of light. Not only heals the obsessed, but also devils destroy in the depths of the sea. Do we sometimes behave like Gergesens?   Jesus came into the world to offer us free forgiveness of sins and eternal life? It also offers us God’s grace and truth. Am I accepting God’s offer? Am I not behaving like Gergesens?
On London’s busiest street, an unknown tramp offered pedestrians five pounds banknotes for one penny. He held a bundle of banknotes in his hand. Most pedestrians don’t either she didn’t look away. Some considered him a fraud, others saw a new fad advertising, and yet the five-pound notes were genuine. About this pleasant surprise took care of a popular actor disguised as a tramp. He stood with the director of the theater for that he will not find a single person interested in the money he will offer on the street in one hour. That’s how it happened.
Similarly, the Lord Jesus and his apostles marched on the other side
Lake Gennesaret. The inhabitants of Gennesaret did not receive from Jesus the love they had given them offering. Let’s not be like them. Let us accept him into our lives, may he be always with us, for it offers precious gifts: love, forgiveness of sins, and eternal life altogether free. Amen.
