2nd Sunday after the birth of the Lord Joh 1,1-18
Introduction
We experience a period that is filled with gifts. We look forward to the things we found under the Christmas tree and which have enriched us not only with their value, but also the love of those who thought about us. Paul recalls the Ephesanom gift that he received. It is their faith, the fact that they became Christians. In Jesus Christ they became sons and daughters of the Heavenly Father. God blessed us in Christ to all the heavenly spiritual blessing he gave us, according to the charitable decision of his will, to prescribe that we, through Jesus Christ, become his adoptive children to praise and glory of His grace, which he endowed us in a beloved son. And we are also a similar idea in the gospel. Those who accepted it gave the power to become God’s children. What they believed in his name, the things that were not born either of the blood, nor the will of the flesh, nor the will of the man, but from God
The same words also apply to us, that God has chosen us. He chose us from thousands, Milonov, and a billion people who lived, live and live on our country. You have chosen us without our merit. Are we aware of the great conquering God has shown us? How many people around us do not have faith? How many do not know it at all. We are the only ones who are entitled to the famous heritage of the Kingdom of Heaven and eternal life.
Indic thinker Rabindranath Thakur 1861_1941 in his literary file, I lived in love portrayed his relationship, Ba better speaking to him as follows. I went as a beggon from house to house when I saw in Dialke as in a beautiful dream, your golden truck. I asked. Who is the king of the Bushes taking in the gold wax. I remained standing and I was expecting to give me almen without asking for it. The goat stopped in front of me. He looked at me and stepped out. I felt it was coming the top moment of my life. You reached your hand and I nyslel that you give me something. But what was your royal gesture when you showed me a blank palm and you’re something cheated from me from a poor guy like me, I was confused and started the SIM to rummage in my pocket. Finally, I found a handful of grains. I gave it to you. When I’m in the evening out of my pocket she sucked out of the pocket of the forgotten grains I found among them one golden grain. Horko I cried that I did not give everything until the last grain.
Did you notice how this Indian thinker was represented by God, who was not at the end of the seer to stop him and thus humiliated that he demanded assistance and support. What thanks he felt grateful for the manifestation of God’s love for him. God has shown us even more love, because not only stopped us but he came among us, lived between us and was similar in everything except sin. He has not only spoken to us, but has accepted us for his children. It is good luck to be a child who has good parents because they can inherit a lot of goodness. We may have never realised and that it may not be the rule that everyone has good parents. How many children the parents left, they put them in orphanages. These children have never tasted the charm of family life. Not everyone had a fortune to sit with my family at the Christmas Eve table. Let’s think of the homeless people who live on the street without family. What a gratitude we have to be fulfilling that we have been preserved from it. But let’s not forget that in the spiritual life none of us is an orphan. We have a father who does not forget us, who is not ashamed to admit. However, we are waiting to be interested in our part, we are expecting to appreciate his love, which we are still proving. God the father is going to give us eternal inheritance. Let’s not miss him. I dare you. And let us realize that the new Year is a part of this heritage, which we have to capitalise on good deeds. It is up to us whether this year is going to bear in the meaning of God’s child or a prodal son. When they asked the same professor what he thought about God replied very simply. For the MNA God is and neither does I do not forget what my pathetic mind thinks about him. He is the creator and the Lord. He is everywhere. It is our beloved father, who cares about us, watches over us, protects us. That fact should lead us to the conclusion that we must be his good children. We have an entire upcoming year for this effort.
