JUST MOVE ON…
In the Gospel passage of the day, we read that a great multitude from Galilee followed Jesus and in great numbers from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, beyond the region of Jordan, Tyre and Sidon gathered round him to listen to him and to be healed from their sin, sorrow and sickness. The passage evince that Jesus was a trending rabbi or a prophet of that time, gaining popularity and fame among the people. Never in the Gospel, ever could we read that Jesus took delight gleaming in such glory, but always slipped from the crowd focusing his attention on His mission: the salvation of the world.
Most of the people are addicted to appreciation, fame, praises and glory, and are ready to do anything to attain the same. This deviates from the purpose of our life and existence that God has intended for us. This is in a way, a temptation that takes us away from the way of the Lord. Jesus is our Master and Model: do all good only for the glory of God and just move on, ignoring all personal glory and gain. May our mind and heart resonate with the prayer: “Lord, lead us not into the temptation of vain glory and false pride”.
