Our correct orientation in time. Know your place in your time

The older ones, when talking to the younger ones, sigh: In our time, this was not the case. Now is the wrong time. Man’s most incredible wisdom is: To live your life honestly and responsibly. Yes, we cannot change what yesterday was; we are just trying to learn from it. And what will happen tomorrow, we do not have to worry about what we are experiencing now; we will live as we should.

The Lord Jesus tells us, “How is it that you cannot judge the present time? Why do you not judge for yourself what is righteous? “(Luke 12:56). The Lord Jesus called us to this world under these circumstances. If you wished us to live in the past or the future, it would be. From this, one can also sense the incorrect teaching of some religions about reincarnation and elsewhere. An age, disease, and the growth of the years are a sign of the times for us that an encounter with God is coming. True, we do not want to remember this. The Lord Jesus said, “.You hypocrites, you can judge the appearance of heaven and earth. How come you don’t judge the present time? Why don’t you judge for yourself what is righteous?” (Luke 12.56). These words speak to our frequent irresponsibility for God’s things. We are concerned about fleeting things, but not forever. And yet eternal things cannot be postponed. Jesus points to this in the parable of the way with the adversary to the judgment. The debtor is charged in court because he does not want to pay. The only way is to use the road to court and put it in order on the road because it is certain that he will lose the lawsuit and will be in prison until he pays the debt to the last penny. The parable’s meaning is that we are all debtors, and the one who invites us to court to repay his debt is Jesus Christ. In this context, the judge is the Lord God. God gives us one last chance to take advantage of the seriousness of the present hour and come to terms with the offer of the Lord Jesus to live for him and with him. Our court is approaching, so we need to act quickly, while we are still on the road, here on earth; otherwise, we are in danger of imprisonment.

What is the sign of our time? What does God ask of us at this hour? The life we ​​have entered is unparalleled in human history. Excellent scientific and technological progress brings with it difficulties that were unknown in the past. Today, there is often talk of ecology, pollution of our planet, not only the mainland, the drying up of trees, increasing fertility, growing desert, but we are infesting rivers, oceans, seas. The air is unbreathable. Scientists have found an ozone hole that causes the temperature in the mood to rise, the so-called greenhouse model, and one more important thing: not only has one lost one’s face and became a stranger to one another, but one has lost sight of one’s soul, lost interest in it most importantly: Why am I in the world?

That is why this gospel is sounding the alarm so that we can use all our abilities, our talents, so that now, and not tomorrow, we can know what God asks and wants from us in the first place. Times and difficulties warn us to think about our future, to think about our death.
