24th Week, Ordinary Time, Wednesday, 20-09-2023

1 Timothy 3:14-16 / Luke 7:31-35  

We may wonder how would we be remembered by others after we have passed on.

We may not be that famous, or like some celebrity, or a great inventor or someone extraordinary.

But what kind of memories or impressions would we leave with others when life on earth is over for us?

Instead of thinking about it when we are no more around, why not think about it when we are still around in this world?

What are others saying about us? What impressions or opinions do we leave in people’s minds?

In the gospel, Jesus is saying something about not just a person but about a whole generation.

Whether or not the people of that generation realized it, what Jesus said about them is what God thinks about them.

So in life, or even after death, what others say about us is not that important.

What is really important is what God is saying about us.

May we be a person who lives a life that is pleasing to God.

What God thinks of us is much more important than what the world thinks of us.
