Ephesians 1:1-10 / Luke 11:47-54
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
That is Newton's Third Law of motion. If we had paid attention during physics class in school, we would probably be able to explain that sensibly.
If that is the law of motion, then there is also a law of life that talks about action.
For every action, there is a consequence. That does not require much explanation.
So if for every action there is a consequence, then it would certainly be better to consider the consequence before taking the action.
So since every action has a consequence, then logically we will always try to do good so that the consequence will be good.
But when we don't consider the consequence, then we will have to pay the price of our careless actions.
In the gospel, Jesus gave a warning to the scribes and Pharisees when He said, "This generation will have to answer for it."
He was pointing out at the wrong that they were doing, but they didn't seem to heed His warning.
But let us listen and heed that warning of Jesus, so that when the time of reckoning comes, we will give a worthy answer for all that we have done in life.
