33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time:Luke’s Message

 As Christians prepare for Advent, Luke’s message today is also one of preparation.

Jesus is speaking to a crowd when asked about specific timing of future events.Jesus lays out the case not so much about the exact time when salvation arrives on a specific date,  but what steps and means by which we should be prepared. The clue to all this is actually one word. It is how Luke reference Jesus, Teacher. At that time Jesus was not falling into the trap of prophet but his true role as teacher. 

An argument can be made for this infant social experiment of less than 250 years we call the USA that we have it correct on most all levels. In fact when you remove all the shinny glitz and gadgets we are failing our families, communities, and the very social fabric that was once woven together in Faith. It is an epidemic in arrogance, self gloating, an ritualistic nonsense. As a society we must regain the first 2 commandments of Mosaic Law. Their were actually 630 laws that are contained in the first 5 books of the Bible known as the Torah. We tend to only focus on the top 10 Commandments.

Review Luke’s message today found in his book of The New Testament. Luke 21:5-19

Happy Sunday!
