These words are spoken by God the Father during the Transfiguration and we would do well to listen to them. God makes clear that the gospel message of Christ is one we must all hear and heed. Jesus’ words and works reveal how we should live. They give us a roadmap to salvation. They show us how to become manifestations of God’s Love, Mercy, and Grace to the world. They remind us that our purpose in this life is not glory, power, or material possessions, but rather to glorify God, become servant leaders, and build up a treasure house of spiritual blessings. This is what it means to listen to Jesus and it is the only way we can discover our true purpose, make the best use of our talents, and fulfill our promise.
Do we listen to Jesus’ message and put it into practice as best we can? What areas of the Good News do we have the most difficulty implementing? Are our lives glorifying God or ourselves?
O Lord, we are listening, speak to our hearts.
Amen.
