DAILY HOMILIES #hidden

Jesus expressed utter disappointment with the towns where most of His miracles had happened because, contrary to His expectations, the people remained stiff-necked in their sinful ways. Jesus performed countless miracles, He even raised the dead to life many times, but one miracle Jesus would not work is forcing anyone to repent. This “miracle” requires your active cooperation.

How do we acknowledge God before people? By putting God first in every decision and choice we make. Get used to doing what is right especially in secret and you will not have a problem acknowledging God publicly.

At no point is it ever justified to act against our Christian values. Not Even in Secret. If you must do anything in secret, make sure it is something good, something noble, something worthy of praise

Jesus says: “Nothing is hidden that shall not be made manifest.” Every secret has its expiry date. Whatever we have tried to hide will someday come to light.

Jesus performed countless miracles, He even raised the dead to life many times but one miracle Jesus would not work is to force you to repent. This requires your active cooperation.

If God so loved us that for our sake He allowed His only Son, Jesus to die as an atonement for our reconciliation and renewal of the covenant with Him, it means we would be totally ungrateful if we continue to walk in darkness rather than embrace the light.

Before you act, think! Think not only about the immediate result but think also of years to come. Live your life in such a way that when all your secret deeds and hidden facts come to light, you will be so proud of yourself.
