“Jesus Summoned the
Crowd”
We humans
are bodily beings. We express our
thoughts, beliefs, and emotions through perceivable attitudes, body language,
facial expressions, words, actions, etc.
In fact, we communicate our very
being in the same manners.
So do we
express and communicate our relationships with God and with our brothers and
sisters through rituals, actions, words, emotions, etc.
What
matters, as Jesus teaches us, is that our external expressions must not for
show. They must come from our
hearts.
It might
help to preserve this awareness and attitude when we remember that our
existence and all we are come from God’s graciousness. As we again see in this Gospel passage, it was
Jesus who took the initiative to instruct us the way of God as “Jesus summoned
the crowd” and taught them.
