Apocalypse 10:8-11/ Luke 19:45-48
The phrase “Actions speak louder than words” is truly a profound saying.
And if people believe a person’s words, then it is because of that person’s actions.
The gospel noted that the chief priests and the scribes tried to do away with Jesus.
But they couldn’t do that because the people as a whole hung on His words.
The people hung on the words of Jesus because they saw what He did.
They saw Him went to the Temple and began driving out those who were doing unfair business.
And Jesus took to the Scriptures to emphasize that the House of God is to be a house of prayer.
Yet, those who were doing business there were turning it into a robbers’ den.
What Jesus said were not sweet words, and for those who heard it, certainly made their stomachs sour.
May the words of Jesus make us realise the truth of our lives.
And if we truly believe in the words of Jesus, then let our actions speak louder than our words.
