Mark of the True Christians
Hello Everyone,
For those who went for bible sharing last night you will know what Soo spoke about right?
For those who didn't please visit Soo's blog.
Anyway, I was doing my daily (trying very very had) reading of the bible and I was at Romans. Then Romans 12 verse 9-21 hit me and I read it and I was pretty amazed. The title of that passage is Marks of the True Christian and it's like really how each and everyone of us as Christians and Catholics are called to be like and it's not something which certain people possess but each and everyone of us.
I remember Soo sharing that he was quite amazed that 1000 Catholic students attended a reparation mass for the people who crashed the Church rather than fighting back and truly they acted in a way they were called to be and how they are supposed to be like.
And if I am not wrong, yesterday the mass reading was about the 2 main commandments and if you think deeper it all comes back to those 2 commandments. To love God with all your heart, mind, soul & strength and to love your neighbor as yourself. I really am quite amazed with God that he asks so little and gives so much.
And just on the side note Soo said that the people of other religions may react differently from us e.g. Muslims so I decided to search it up since I found and know our side of the story. The Muslims too have such a call or an instruction to behave but not as detailed or humbling as ours but they too have that call. It's just the matter of choice and the way you have inculcated your religion into your life I suppose. So yeah, this is my short reflection
See you guys tomorrow =)
