Hebrews 2:14-18 / Mark 1:29-39
We like to identify and to be identified by what we do and by our profession.
That is also the most common way to describe who we are and what we do.
In other words, who we are is, in a way, defined by what we do.
Or, should it be the other way round?
What we do should be from who we are.
Our essence should determine our actions.
In the gospel, Jesus went about His healing work.
He cured many who were suffering from diseases of one kind or another.
And He also cast out many devils.
But early in the morning, He went off to a lonely place and prayed there.
He knew that He was the Son of the Father, and that relationship was the most important to Him.
We too must know that we are the beloved children of God.
When we know that God has called us with love and in love, then we will know that we are to express that love in our lives.
That is how we should live our lives and that is what we must to do in life.
