The kind of faith God wants

Matthew 9:1-8

Abraham's faith was tested severly.  God commanded him to kill Isaac.  In the end, God did not allow it.  He further blessed Abraham for his faith.

In the gospel, people brought a paralytic to Jesus.  He saw their faith and cured the paralytic.

Let's reflect on the kind of faith given to us.

First, it is a trusting faith that relies heavily on God.  In the end, let's trust the Lord because his will is absolutely right.

Second, it is a communal faith that relies on the support of the community.  This is how the Church is born.  It is a community of faith.

Third, it is a concrete faith, seen through action and not just prayer.

Reflect:  What kind of faith have I manifested in my life - a trusting faith, a communal faith, or a concrete faith?
