A dynamic faith


Thursday of week 6 in Ordinary Time


Mark 8:27-33

Faith in Jesus entails knowing him, loving him, and serving him.

Know Jesus - Jesus asked his disciples, "Who do people say I am?" Then he asked, "But you?  Who do you say I am?" If we know the heart and mind of Jesus and everything about him, our outlook of ourselves would be affected; we would see the world as God sees.

Loving Jesus - search the heart; what do we feel about Jesus?  What do we feel about others as well?  Do we see them simply as the world sees them?  Do we judge people by classes as St. James hinted?  Care and compassion lie in the very heart of Jesus.

Serve Jesus - Jesus reprimanded Peter for not following him to the cross.  Serving as Jesus wants to be served is the deepest aspiration of faith, to be one with him and cause the salvation of others.
