Hebrews 2:5-12 / Mark 1:21-28
The learning process is indeed a slow and long process.
Most of us have at least 10 years of schooling but we all know that learning is a life-long process.
Yet there are still certain questions that we don't have any answers for.
For e.g. in the gospel passage, why is there a man possessed by an unclean spirit in the synagogue of all places?
Or why is there so much evil and terror and horror in the world despite the fact that Jesus had already came and He is supposed to bring us peace?
The 1st reading puts it wisely : At present, it is true, we are not able to see that everything has been put under His command.
But in Jesus we also saw how He was subjected to evil in the forms of suffering and death.
Yet He overcame death and conquered sin and He is now crowned with glory and splendor.
So if there is anything we need to learn about life, we need to turn to Jesus and learn from Him.
In the midst of the troubles and evils of life, let us stay close to Jesus and learn from Him to be humble and gentle of heart.
For His yoke is easy and His burden light and He will lead us into victory.
