Scripture Reflection For The 2nd Sunday In Ordinary Time

The Gospel is hard to follow.  We can intellectually debate whether what Jesus said is really what we are asked to do.  The Gospel ideas do not always make sense in our practical, secular world.  The person of God always does.  We can debate the practicality and sense of ideas and doing so often keeps the more difficult ones at a safe distance away from us.  Jesus said to love our enemy, but we really don't need to do that, our minds try to convince us.  It just doesn't make sense.  Yet, if we are truly in love with the God who is behind the voice of those words, they make perfect sense.  Our deep and intimate love of this God would even find us laying down our lives for Him if necessary.  Speak Lord, your servant is listening.
