ARE WE SUPERIOR TO JESUS?
NO SLAVE IS GREATER THAN HIS MASTER.
"Jesus said to his disciples: “If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first.
"If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you.
"Remember the word I spoke to you, ‘No slave is greater than his master.’
"If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. And they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.” (John 15: 18 - 21).
Saturday May 4th in the 5th Week in the Easter Season.
In the Gospel of today, Jesus utters a truth which is still absolutely authentic today:
Before God we are all slaves. We are slaves because our limited freedom and capacity depend entirely on God. (Cf John 15: 5).
The Scripture further says: Everything you have comes from God. Why do you boost? (Cf 1 Corinthians 4:7).
Brothers and sisters, know that this world is very hostile to God. The world is ready to trample the slaves of God under foot. Be real. Be authentic. Do not love this world and all that it parades as ultimate pleasure and goodies.
