As he was going into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, « You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. »(Luke 3:7-9)
Then, the crowd asked him:
« What should we do then? »(Luke 3:10)
John answered:
« The man with two tunics should share with him who has none, and the one who has food should do the same. »(Luke 3:10-11)
Sometimes we tend to value our possessions so highly that we let them control us.
When we are controlled by things that we have, we usually aren’t willing to share them with others.
The gospel instructs us to share, especially with those that have less than us.
We should kindly share what we have, even with those that don’t treat us well.
Our willingness to share is one way we are able to express our God given love for others.
PRAYER:
Lord our God, grant us to always share with others what you give us.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
