‘he went home again, and once more such a crowd collected that they could not even have a meal. when his relations heard of this, they set out to take charge of him; they said, “he was out of his mind”.
Instead of trying to take charge of Jesus and trying to control our lives, using all our strength determination and drive for what we want, why not use all our strength, mind, hearts and determine to let Jesus take control? Desire to go after his will? Why not? Is it because we are so accustomed to our own lifestyles that we find it difficult to surrender, to let someone who we can’t see, feel or hear take control? This is a matter of Faith, first believing in the one whom God has sent and anyone who believes in the one God has sent believes in God also. Jesus is the one whom God the Father has sent, if we really believe in Him we will be guided by Him, we will allow him to take control, eventually we will even be able to see, feel and hear Him, and we will go to Him when we are tired with our heavy burdens. Jesus says, “come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and burden light.”(Mt 11:28). Even when Jesus’ Will seems too difficult to do, He will make it easier for us, much easier. For instance, we can proclaim God’s Word all over the world without even leaving home at times, via the use of the internet. As time goes on remember that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, and there is no excuse that we shouldn’t proclaim this, it does not have to be as grand as a sermon but simple as a chat with your neighbours. We must also remember that with everything we do we should always place our faith in Jesus, rely on Him in most trivial to the most difficult moments in your life. Faith Forever.
