Reflection
 
They hustled him out of the town

Jesus is for everyone.
Some thought they were the
favourites or chosen or privileged ones of God.
They couldn't accept that he was for the whole world,
not just for them.

God is for everyone
at every time of life -
for the child in helplessness and security,
for the adolescent in confusion and
exuberance,
for the young adult in searching for and finding lasting love,
for the mid-adult in disappointment and in joy of children,
for the elderly in illness and serenity -
let us give thanks to God,
for he is our God at all time and in all places

And God is in all the places within ourselves,
our zones of body, mind and soul;
in that lonely place he is friend,
in that guilty place he is forgiveness,
in that shameful place he is affirmation,
in that joyful place he is happiness,
in that compassionate place he is mercy,
in that sharing place he is
encouragement.

God is big enought to be for everyone;
he is weak enough to be for everyone.
And for this they wanted to get rid of Jesus,
God's presence among us
his faithfulness for always.
