| First Reading: Psalm: Gospel: | Isaiah 11:1-10 Psalm 72:1-2, 7-8, 12-13, 17 Luke 10:21-24 |
Luke 10:22 All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."
There is a temptation for us in this information driven culture to try to explain everything. We even try to explain who Jesus is and who God is and if others don't get it the same way we think it should then they are not as "holy" as we are.
According to Jesus nobody know who he or the father are, except those to whom he chooses to reveal it to. Now implied in this is also the idea that the amount of knowledge that is revealed is also at Jesus' discretion. Point being we have nothing to boast in except Christ himself, not in our own knowledge or holiness. We can only pray that Jesus will reveal to us what we need.
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to seek to know you through your revelation and on your terms. Help me not to have a boastful spirit and get caught up in pride and the desire for advantage.
Amen
