Understanding Opposites

"And if some home or town will not welcome you or listen to you, then leave that place and shake the dust off your feet. I assure you that on the Judgement Day God will show more mercy to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah than to the people of that town!"
Matthew 10:14‭-‬15 GNBDK

Reflection:
While we know that God is Good and kind and loving, these words from Jesus might sound a little difficult to comprehend. But Consider this; the opposite of hot is cold, of up is down so on and so forth. Similarly, when we sin, we are distancing ourselves from God. We are going in the opposite direction, God is not moving away from us. Therefore the onus is on us and the choices we make to accept or reject God's word.

Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to accept his word made flesh in Christ Jesus his son. May you always stay close to God as choose what you are lead to; by his Holy Spirit. Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)
