Wednesday within 24th week, Luke 7:31-35;
Today's Gospel passage reveals the scandal of human freedom. It refers human free will, which is often insatisfy. John the Baptist was ascetic, but they didn't like that. They accused him of being possessed. Jesus was open to all, eating and being close to people and showing God's mercy and nearness, but they considered him to be a glutton. This is a scandal of human freedom. Human heart is complicated.
We are never satisfied.
For those who believe every sign is enough and for those who do not believe, no sign is enough. Those reject God's message will always find an excuse. But those who believe will always discover God's wisdom in every word no matter how it is revealed.
How do we respond to the Gospel message?
Jesus I trust in you
