“Elijah is indeed coming first,” answered Jesus, “and he will get everything ready. But I tell you that Elijah has already come and people did not recognize him, but treated him just as they pleased. In the same way they will also ill-treat the Son of Man.”
Matthew 17:11-12 GNBDK
Reflection:
The metaphor for John the Baptist was in reference to his work, that like Elijah, he too was preparing a way for the Lord. Likewise, God sends Elijah and John our way so that we can prepare well, do we recognise these instruments of God or are we too busy in our everyday lives?
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to recognise his prophets and works in your life. May Jesus Christ his son help you turn to God's ways and may his Holy Spirit guide and govern your path. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
